Transforms eDiscovery Review by Watching and Learning How Legal Teams Code Documents

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2010 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software for the enterprise, today unveiled Autonomy Meaning
Based Coding, a new module designed to radically reduce the time and costs
associated with eDiscovery and document review. Autonomy Meaning Based Coding
uses the company's patented concept-based pattern recognition technology to
watch and learn how legal teams code documents during the review process to
understand the coding decisions. This understanding enables Meaning Based
Coding to use the concepts legal reviewers search for and extrapolates this
to automatically analyze and code remaining documents to prioritize them for
review by the legal team.

The document review process is often the most critical, time-consuming,
and costly stage of the eDiscovery process. In order to defend a case, it is
essential that documents are painstakingly reviewed for responsiveness and
privileged information as well as coded for production to the opposing side.
With legacy technology, this is often a risk-filled process requiring a
significant investment in human and financial capital.

Autonomy Meaning Based Coding, a component of Autonomy's end-to-end
eDiscovery platform, transforms the manual, time-intensive, and error-prone
review process, enabling legal teams to speed the review process, improve
accuracy and win the case. Autonomy Meaning Based Coding watches, learns, and
understands how and why attorneys code documents based on content. From the
first coding decision, the software understands what information is relevant
and can either automatically code remaining documents for a prioritized
second tier review or accurately suggest coding for the attorney reviewing
the documents. For measuring accuracy, it can also be used to review samples
of documents that have been reviewed manually. This capability is important
as manual reviews can become inconsistent and it is critical to minimize risk
associated with this. Autonomy's Meaning Based Coding streamlines the
document review process using a defensible workflow that enables the computer
to leverage the work of the legal team to accurately review the corpus of
data.

Autonomy Meaning Based Coding:

    - Powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer, which
      automatically understands the meaning of information within all forms
      of structured and unstructured information, identifying relevant
      concepts and patterns in data.
    - Part of Autonomy's end-to-end eDiscovery platform, which includes
      identification, preservation, collection, processing, analysis, review
      and production capabilities.
    - Processes petabytes of electronically stored information (ESI), in
      more than 120 languages and more than 1,000 file types,
      including audio and video.
    - The intuitive dashboard enables the review team to quickly ascertain
      how documents should be coded based on prior decisions.
    - Autonomy Meaning Based Coding is available now as hosted or on-premise
      software, or as an appliance.

"Legal review has traditionally been the most time consuming and
challenging process for legal teams of all sizes," said Mike Sullivan, CEO of
Autonomy ZANTAZ. "Legacy technologies fail to equip review teams with the
tools they need to automate the process, and corporate counsel has been
forced to throw more money and man-hours at the problem. Autonomy uniquely
addresses this challenge by taking a meaning-based approach - which applies
our ability to understand all forms of information in order to help
organizations speed the eDiscovery process and achieve superior legal
results."
