Standard Life chose Autonomy’s award-winning solution, powered by the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), due to its unique ability to provide a simple, intuitive way to create, optimize and deliver content across multiple websites, all through one user-friendly interface.

Standard Life’s WCM platform combines the powerful features of two Autonomy award-winning products: Autonomy TeamSite, the market-leading solution for authoring content, site design and layout, content targeting, workflow and approvals; and Autonomy LiveSite, which enables the creation of dynamic, interactive and targeted sites for any purpose, such as a landing page or promotional microsite.

Autonomy’s WCM solution delivers Standard Life the benefits of:

• Optimizing website visitors’ experience to increase conversions and sales revenues by enabling the easy delivery of highly-targeted and engaging web content.
• Enabling consistent and timely re-branding by offering Standard Life a single, scalable repository for managing all web assets.

It also presents challenges as firms must be able to cope with changing their systems to meet new demands. The relationship we have with Autonomy has meant we’re ready for these changes, which puts us in a very strong position to capitalize on future opportunities.”
