Autonomy was named the winner of the highly coveted award following a rigorous selection process based on criteria such as depth and breadth of functionality, the ability to capture real-time transaction information, functionality enhancements over the last 12 months and ease of implementation among others. Winners are selected by an advisory panel comprised of analysts, consultants and market practitioners.
"Founded out of pioneering research at Cambridge University, Autonomy is proud to maintain its reputation as one of the most innovative companies in the world," said Dr Mike Lynch, Founder & CEO of Autonomy. "The global financial crisis has brought compliance to the forefront as global financial institutions attempt to keep their ducks in a row. We are delighted to be the leading supplier and trend-setter in this sector."
The complex, information-rich environments in which people work today coupled with the terabytes of data that are being generated in the form of emails, IMs, digital voice recordings and hundreds of other file formats are prompting forward-thinking organizations to embrace Autonomy's unique Meaning-Based technology for all of their information governance needs. Autonomy's core infrastructure software, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), can understand the meaning of content across formats, languages and geographical boundaries thus enabling organizations to harness the true value of their information assets while at the same time minimizing the risks endemic to data proliferation.
