From February 2000 issue of Wired:
With the Dynamic Reasoning Engine at its core, Autonomy's cluster of applications combines Bayesian pattern recognition with neural networks, which use parallel pathways to mimic the action of the human nervous system. The company's products serve two primary markets: corporate knowledge and new media...
In May [1999] Autonomy made its reasoning engine available to other companies that wanted to build their own software around it on an OEM basis. Autonomy licenses its code to these partners at various rates and earns royalties of 10 to 50 percent on products that use Autonomy software...
The next generation of Autonomy software - embedded in intranet sites - creates a single interface for Oracle databases and legacy mainframe resources, archived email and Lotus Notes, Excel spreadsheets and Word files. By partnering with young companies, such as Corechange, Intraspect Software, Verge Software, Provenance Systems, and Hyperwave Information, that make so-called middle-office software to build intranet portals, Autonomy is aiming to become the language lobe in the evolving big brain of the modern corporation. |
