Leading Commercial Law Firm Selects Autonomy iManage for End-to-End Intelligent Content Processing

IDOL to Underpin Hammonds LLP's Document, Knowledge and Business Process Management Strategy

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, February 8 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Hammonds
LLP, a leading commercial law firm with offices throughout Europe and Asia,
has selected Autonomy iManage as the single vendor for all of its document,
knowledge and business process management requirements. After a competitive
procurement, Hammonds LLP selected iManage Universal Search, an award winning
pan-enterprise search solution tailored to the unique requirements of law
firms, iManage WorkSite, the legal industry's number one document management
solution, and iManage Workflow Manager, a full featured intelligent process
automation engine that delivers significant improvements in productivity and
compliance. Autonomy iManage's unique conceptual capabilities and its unique
ability to provide firms with the complete set of EDRM tools from one common
platform were among the key factors in Hammond's final decision.

"In today's volatile economy, a piecemeal approach to intelligent content
processing is no longer attractive or feasible," said Russell Firth, CIO at
Hammonds LLP. "As a leading commercial firm, we are constantly striving to
boost collaboration and enhance productivity in order to improve client
service and derive the highest value from each billable hour. Autonomy
iManage was the natural choice for us. Its end-to-end, meaning-based platform
and unprecedented scalability make this a truly strategic investment that we
will be able to develop in the future by adding functionalities and modules
as and when the need arises."

At the heart of Autonomy iManage's transformational approach to
information management is Autonomy's unique infrastructure software platform,
the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL). Thanks to its revolutionary
meaning-based technology, IDOL forms an understanding of all data in the
enterprise including human-friendly formats such as web pages, emails, voice
and video.

With the average lawyer receiving over 400 emails a day, the power that
IDOL brings to email management is crucial for law firms to improve user
experience and boost productivity. Autonomy iManage actively encourages the
filing of emails in a matter-centric legal environment by automatically
suggesting filing locations for every email, while storing them all on a
single platform.

The powerful combination of iManage Universal Search, WorkSite and
Workflow Manager will enable Hammonds' users to benefit from:

    - End-to-end platform for all of their knowledge, content and
      business process management requirements
    - Seamless integration across all user touch points, geographical
      boundaries, repositories and languages
    - A pan-enterprise search solution tailored to law firms and
      leveraging IDOL's breadth of connectivity to repositories and
      applications
    - Advanced conceptual search and intelligent classification
      capabilities enabling Hammonds LLP to maximize the utility of its
      content and improve search performance and relevancy
    - Automated intelligent processing that can deliver significant
      improvements in productivity and compliance
    - Rich capabilities for modeling and stimulating business
      processes, rules based routing, electronic forms and real-time business
      activity monitoring

"Technology is a fundamental lever to improving fee-earner productivity
and doing more with less," said Neil Araujo, CEO of Autonomy iManage.
"Autonomy's unique meaning-based technology is transformational in delivering
those efficiencies all on a single platform, enabling firms to improve client
service, profitability and compliance. We are delighted that Hammonds LLP has
selected Autonomy iManage as the single provider for all of its intelligent
content processing requirements."
