Information Governance

Intelligent Information Governance Platform

Autonomy Information Governance is the industry's first information governance platform that automates real-time policy management based on forming a conceptual and contextual understanding of all enterprise information. Autonomy's unique technology represents a major step forward in reducing risks inherent in information by applying policy based on understanding the actual content of an email, document or phone recording instead of relying solely on its metadata.

In the wake of the amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), sub-prime mortgage and credit crisis, and highly publicized internal fraud cases, organizations are under increased pressure to consistently implement information policies for finding, holding and disposing of information in a timely manner. Although most global 2000 organizations have defined and updated their information management policies, the complexities of implementing and enforcing these policies is challenging even the world's leading companies.

The reasons stem from the complex, information-rich environments people work in today and the terabytes of data that are being generated in the form of emails, text messages, digital voice recordings, and hundreds of other file formats. In order for computers to process increasingly vast amounts of rich information, an entirely new approach is needed: one where the software can form an understanding of the content through pattern-matching and idea-distancing. Autonomy's unique, advanced technology can help companies reduce fraud and balance the interplay between people and computers by understanding the meaning of information. This is now known as Meaning Based Computing.

A World's First

With the IDOL infrastructure at the core of this information governance platform, organizations have inherent value from pan-enterprise search that no other technology can offer. To automate real-time policy management, the Autonomy Information Governance platform provides a dynamic and real-time environment to visualize and control policy-driven information in the organization. This is accomplished through a vendor neutral infrastructure using more than 400 out-of-the-box data repository connectors that allow management in place and retrieval of email, documents, audio, or video information across the entire enterprise.
 
This streamlined approach addresses the escalating complexities and urgency in managing information policy across the global enterprise, driven by the threat of multi-million dollar regulatory fines and brand degradation. Autonomy Information Governance combines pan-enterprise search infrastructure, role-based dashboards, and workflow tools to simplify information risk management for the CIO, legal council, and corporate compliance officers and to accelerate policy enforcement for legal holds notification, preservation, collection, and information subject to disposition. The Autonomy Information and Governance platform allows faster and more efficient identification of issues to accelerate problem resolution and ensure policy enforcement.
