Autonomy Unveils Industry's First Meaning Based Risk Management Platform for Law Firms

End-to-End Platform Significantly Mitigates Risk by Offering the Most Comprehensive Risk Management Portfolio for Law Firms

LAS VEGAS, August 23, 2010 - ILTA 2010 — Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader
in infrastructure software, today unveiled the industry's first end-to-end,
meaning-based Risk Management platform for law firms. The Autonomy Risk
Management platform leverages Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer
(IDOL), deployed today in over 2000 law firms, to deliver multiple risk
management modules from a single intelligent platform. Autonomy Risk
Management combines Autonomy Client Intake, Conflicts Manager, Legal Hold,
Records Manager, and Supervisor to form the industry's most comprehensive
platform for helping law firms address the increasingly complex and
high-stakes risk management process.

IDOL's unique ability to understand, analyze and act on the meaning of
information in any file format and language allows the Autonomy Risk
Management platform to automatically understand the inter-relationships
within data, and monitor and apply policies against all communications
channels. As a result, law firms transform legacy and manual risk management
processes and reduce the cost of owning and maintaining multiple point
solutions.

Managing compliance with regulations and ethical rules, meeting client
requirements for data security, and responding to requests from regulators
and courts has become progressively more difficult given the increasing
volume of electronic data. In addition, the risk management process has
become an ever-more complex task given the rise of mergers and acquisitions,
globalization, and the increase in lateral hires within the legal industry.

"Law firms today face increased pressure due to stricter regulations,
economic pressures and the ongoing duty to uphold confidentiality," said Tom
Browne, General Counsel at Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, a leading law firm in
ethics and risk management for professionals. "Electronically stored
information poses additional risk, given the volume, uncontrolled
distribution and range of formats. Autonomy's Meaning Based Risk Management
platform enables law firms to mitigate these modern risk factors much more
effectively than traditional methods."

Autonomy's end-to-end Risk Management platform helps law firms mitigate
risks and optimize the resources associated with this process. This
comprehensive platform addresses critical areas of risk within law firms with
the following modules:

    - Client Intake - It is essential to understand all the information
      sources and all the inter-relationships between clients to make client
      management more efficient. Effective client intake enables law firms to
      vet the quality of the potential client and matter, a significant
      source of risk and opportunity cost for the firm. Autonomy brings
      advanced automation to this critical loss prevention process, reducing
      risk and increasing efficiency.

    - Conflicts Manager - Firms must quickly and efficiently identify any
      potential conflict of interest prior to accepting a new business
      engagement. Autonomy's Risk Management platform reveals all
      relationships between the information assets of the firm and public
      internet resources to risk managers and conflicts analysts. This allows
      them to more quickly and soundly vet potential new business and lateral
      hires and reduce the risk of unknown conflicts. Autonomy accelerates
      the process of obtaining and adhering to waiver letters, ensuring that
      the firm and their clients have the protection required and billable
      work can commence quickly, saving time and yielding higher revenue.

    - Legal Hold - The traditional process of tracking hold notifications in
      a spreadsheet is challenging to maintain, audit and defend in court.
      Autonomy's Risk Management platform allows law firms to preserve data
      "in-place" and apply comprehensive preservation policies to any data,
      regardless of format or location. This ensures compliance with
      regulations, including the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP).

    - Records Manager - Autonomy's Risk Management platform provides
      attorneys with quick access to the right information at the right time,
      ensuring accurate client communication when responding to clients.
      Ethical walls ensure privacy, while information classification,
      retention, and disposition management must ensure proactive and
      efficient management of all client and matter files, regardless of
      format or location.

    - Supervisor - Failure to properly govern electronic communications can
      lead to severe and damaging exposure, as well as costly disciplinary
      actions, sanctions and fines. Autonomy's Risk Management platform
      enables law firms to apply intelligent policies to all forms of
      communications, including email, social media conversations, and phone
      and voice recordings, either between attorneys and clients, or between
      attorneys in the same firm. These policies can be applied in real-time,
      either at the point of send or when they are archived as part of a
      comprehensive retention and disposition strategy.

"Autonomy's unique meaning-based technology, comprehensive offering, and
deep understanding of the law firm market allow us to deliver the most
effective platform for managing risk," said Neil Araujo, CEO of Autonomy
Protect Legal Systems. "Unlike legacy approaches which rely on manual
processes and point solutions, Autonomy provides the first platform that
automates the time-consuming risk management process, allowing law firm
partners, General Counsel, and CIOs to sleep much better at night."
