Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust First to Embrace Evolve(TM) Which Enables Instant and Secure Meaning-based Access to Patient Medical Records

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2010 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software for the enterprise, and Kainos, a leading IT
consulting company, today announced the launch of Evolve(TM), a
next-generation Electronic Document Management solution which enables instant
and secure access to patient medical records through Autonomy's unique
Meaning Based Computing solutions. The new system is already being trail
blazed by Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust and is the successful outcome of months
of collaboration between Kainos and Autonomy.

"Kainos and Autonomy know EDRM technologies and processes and have
injected their combined DNA into Evolve(TM)," commented Neil Turnbull, Head
of Programme Delivery in the Information Management and Technology department
at The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust. "We know and understand healthcare and
patient care and the blend of these respective skills has resulted in a very
successful application of EDRM here at Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust. A key way
to improve patient care is by freeing up the flow of vital information
amongst different points of care, so that the right treatment can be given
efficiently and effectively according to the very latest patient case notes.
Evolve(TM) enables us to harness the true value of information at our
fingertips for quicker and better patient care."

Autonomy Records Management is the world's most advanced retention and
disposition solution. Massively scalable, with proven capability to support
tens of thousands of users managing hundreds of millions of documents,
Autonomy Records Management is built on Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating
Layer (IDOL), an infrastructure layer that indexes an enterprise's data and
serves as a platform for the conceptual and contextual understanding of
information in an enterprise. Autonomy Records Management has over one
million users across the globe and customers in every market. Long-standing
Autonomy partner Kainos enjoys extensive experience in scoping, planning and
implementing large-scale EDRMS solutions for public sector organisations
including Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Northern Ireland's
Health and Social Care Board. In 2009 alone, 10 UK councils selected Kainos
as their EDRMS partner.

Autonomy and Kainos have created Evolve(TM), a blend of Kainos techniques
and services, coupled with Autonomy's award-winning records management
technologies to deliver an end-to-end, massively scalable EDRMS solution that
addresses the next- generation paper and electronic document demands of
Trusts across the UK and Ireland.

Based on experience garnered at hundreds of EDRMS projects and in
particular working with Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, the Evolve(TM) solution
includes a scanning process for electronic record conversion, a central
repository for storage, and a portal for viewing the records and other
patient correspondence.

Evolve(TM) eliminates the need for physical patient records within the
Trust and enables medical experts to benefit from advanced capabilities
including:

    - Single, centralised view of all records: All scanned electronic patient
      case notes, both historic and on-going, are automatically indexed and
      stored in a single location for easy and secure access.
    - Meaning-based retrieval and processing: Unlike legacy technologies
      which rely on heavy and protracted human intervention, Autonomy's IDOL
      can bring meaning to patient case notes and identify links between
      conceptually similar documents enabling efficient and effective
      treatment.
    - Unmatched security: Multiple simultaneous logins are allowed and
      security is determined by user role to prevent unauthorised access.
    - Seamless integration with existing hospital systems: Owing to IDOL's
      format independence, Evolve(TM) seamlessly integrates with the hospital
      Patient Administration System (PAS) and other Trust legacy systems
      using Kainos' integration toolkit, ConnectDeveloper.
    - Automated Compliance and Information Governance: Evolve(TM) delivers a
      full audit trail of any records activity and enables automated
      retention and disposition according to the trust requirements.

"The business benefits in moving paper based case notes on-line are
substantial and real," said Deirdre O'Neill, Head of ECM at Kainos. "In the
context of budget constraints, the potential to deliver bottom line cost
savings, as well as improving patient care, is making EDRM projects a
priority for Trusts across the UK. As acute hospitals get involved in
community services it is clear that secure access to summary patient
information at the point of care is critical in delivering services
efficiently. Together with Autonomy we are looking forward to furthering our
footprint in the NHS and making the Electronic Patient Record a reality for
many Trusts."
