Precise Delivers Next-Generation Media Intelligence With Autonomy

Enhances Media Monitoring and Intelligent Analysis Capabilities With Meaning Based Computing

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, January 20 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software for the enterprise and Precise, the UK leader in
media intelligence, today announced a strategic collaboration under which
Precise will develop and market next-generation media intelligence services
to the PR and communications sectors. Precise will employ Autonomy's unique
Meaning Based Computing technology to enhance its monitoring and analysis
capabilities across the entire media spectrum, including broadcast, print,
web, social media and discussion forums. Autonomy's core infrastructure
software the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) was selected owing to
its ability to go beyond simple keyword search and provide unmatched
conceptual capabilities, format and language independence and unparalleled
scalability.

The first phase of this pioneering project entails the implementation of
Chorus, a new media intelligence workflow engine, which is delivering a step
change in the speed, accuracy and depth of intelligence now available to
Precise's extensive customer base. IDOL delivers a computing platform which
enables computers to see patterns in information the way people do. By
automatically identifying patterns and forming models to visualize and
understand them, Autonomy enables organizations to quickly spot and act on
trends in order to leverage the maximum benefits.

Chorus, powered by Autonomy's IDOL, enables Precise to assess the
relevance and impact of news and comment, automatically and in real-time,
enabling clients to target their PR and communications activity more quickly
and effectively. Next-generation functionality, such as advanced analytics,
automatic tagging and classification and sentiment analysis enable Precise to
offer first-class analysis and monitoring capabilities across a vast array of
news and social media content.

"Precise has a rich history of innovation, having shaped the UK media
intelligence sector, and we look forward to demonstrating the enhanced and
new service capabilities Chorus will enable," commented Keir Fawcus, Precise
Managing Director. "Leveraging Autonomy's unique Meaning Based technology,
which can automatically detect patterns in all content, we will substantially
augment our current market-leading offering, providing our clients with the
world-class services they require to maintain an edge in today's fast-paced
media environment."

"Autonomy's patterns-based approach helps communicators succeed in
today's digital media age by providing an integrated set of solutions that
allow them to automatically listen, understand, and act on all forms of
information on a single platform," said Ian Black, Head of Global Operations
at Autonomy. "Powered by IDOL, Chorus empowers the media community to benefit
from unprecedented conceptual access to all pertinent content, thus helping
ensure that experts stay abreast of new developments and breaking news in a
world of information overload. We are delighted that Precise has embraced
Autonomy's IDOL as the only technology able to meet and exceed its exacting
requirements."
