Autonomy Announces Next Generation Solution to Manage Conflicts of Interest Process for Law Firms

Autonomy's iManage ConflictsManager Detects Patterns and Reduces the Risk and Time Required for New Client Vetting Procedures

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, January 27 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced the availability
of iManage ConflictsManager, an innovative solution that enables law firms to
streamline the management of their conflicts of interest process. iManage
ConflictsManager is powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer
(IDOL), which identifies patterns in data and automatically acts on that
knowledge to mitigate risk and accelerate the overall conflict screening
process. Unlike legacy approaches, whose traditional keyword searches are
limited to a finite number of data sources and laden with manual processes,
Autonomy's iManage ConflictsManager represents the first solution that
automates time-consuming steps in the vetting procedure and thus minimizes
the risk associated with this process.

Screening for conflicts of interest is a critical process for law firms
while onboarding new clients, protecting the interests of existing clients
while also complying with professional and ethical responsibility rules. The
process has become an increasingly complex task for law firms given the rise
of mergers and acquisitions, globalization and the increase in lateral hires
within the legal industry.

Built based on IDOL's unique ability to understand, analyze and act on
the meaning of information in any file format and language, Autonomy's
iManage ConflictsManager enables global law firms conducting businesses
around the world to understand the inter-relationships of their data when
conducting new client vetting procedures. The solution also offers the
following advanced capabilities:

    - Fast, comprehensive and real-time search - uses IDOL's core information
      processing engine
    - Conceptual understanding - applies Autonomy's Meaning Based
      Computing approach to transform the conflicts detection process
    - Flexible conflicts database to maintain historical party and
      client information
    - Web-based reporting interface - improves quick elimination of
      false hits and online annotation and routing of potential conflicts
    - Lateral Hire Module - faster processing of on-boarding attorneys'
      conflict metadata
    - Integration with iManage WorkSite to audit Engagement Letters and
      Waiver Letters
    - Seamless integration with iManage WorkSite, iManage
      RecordsManager and iManage Workflow Manager- provides a comprehensive,
      end-to-end legal risk management solution

"Advances in information processing technologies, such as those in
Autonomy's IDOL, can transform the conflicts resolution process in law
firms," said Meg Block, managing director at Hildebrandt Baker Robbins. "The
increasing complexity of ethical and business conflicts resolution and the
ever-growing volume of source data requires information to be presented in
context, with the most relevant content distinguished in an intuitive
interface."

"Autonomy is committed to providing advanced technology to enable law
firms to improve productivity, and protect and promote their business," said
Neil Araujo, CEO of Autonomy iManage. "Now with iManage ConflictsManager, our
more than 1,500 law firm customers can further streamline their business
process by quickly and accurately identifying whether there is any conflicts
of interest in their new client vetting procedures."
