Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch talked to Jason Stamper about his company and the challenges in enterprise search. There is a good review of the competition in enterprise search and mergers that have taken place in the last few years such as Microsoft's purchasing FAST. More directly, Mike Lynch outlines the direction Autonomy is taking, and quotes IDC's Sue Feldman about the company and industry.
"IDC’s Feldman though says that, “At this point, it is clear that Autonomy should no longer be considered purely a search vendor. It builds search-based applications to answer market demands for better information-centric software.”"
"What does that mean? Autonomy’s website explains: “Autonomy's software powers the full spectrum of mission-critical enterprise applications including pan-enterprise search, proactive information risk management, information governance, e-discovery, consolidated archiving, call centre solutions, rich media management, security applications, customer relationship management (CRM), knowledge management (KM) and BPM [business process management].”"
There is also a sidebar on the rise of e-discovery.
