ILTA 2009, WASHINGTON, August 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy
Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure
software for the enterprise, today announced a new approach for managing law
firm content, radically reducing their dependency on information technology
resources and strengthening firms' ability to serve their clients. The
iManage Digital Safe solution enables law firms to archive and retrieve
matter content - such as documents, email, audio, and images - in Autonomy's
Digital Safe, the world's largest cloud-based data archive at over 10
petabytes. As a result, firms can dramatically reduce the cost and complexity
of maintaining a large IT infrastructure to store and manage massively
growing volumes of data. iManage Digital Safe is also available as an
on-premise archiving solution.
As the volume of content law firms must manage continues to spiral
upward, firms face a huge challenge in storing and managing this information
cost-effectively. A high percentage of this data is related to inactive
matters that are infrequently accessed. However, law firms still require a
way to quickly and easily retrieve the relevant information at a client's
request, leverage this information for knowledge management, or to rapidly
respond to a litigation and investigation pertaining to the firm. Corporate
clients also increasingly demand direct access to this information - and law
firms are seeking a better way to facilitate these requests.
The iManage Digital Safe solution overcomes these challenges by
leveraging the company's unique strengths in private cloud computing, legal
information management, and eDiscovery. Today, 9 of the world's top ten banks
trust Autonomy Digital Safe to securely archive their information assets and
maintain compliance with all regulatory standards, including the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). Autonomy iManage is also the de facto
standard for legal information management, counting 75 of the Global 100 law
firms as customers. Autonomy is also a recognized leader in eDiscovery, and
the only company to provide an end-to-end solution that addresses the entire
Electronic Discovery Reference Model.
The iManage Digital Safe is a massively scalable, cloud-based and
on-premise archive service that enables customers to outsource the storage
and management of their email messages, client and matter related documents,
instant messages (IMs), and unified communications content to a trusted,
proven third-party. Digital Safe is powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data
Operating Layer (IDOL), which ingests, de-duplicates, and indexes documents
and emails. Digital Safe can automatically archive content from email and
WorkSite servers based on pre-defined business rules. This enables users to
easily and transparently retrieve archived data and prepares the data for
potential future legal holds or preservation.
"Autonomy is uniquely positioned and committed to redefine how law firms
and corporations manage their legal content," said Anthony Bettencourt, CEO
of Autonomy iManage. "iManage Digital Safe is a great example of how we are
rapidly leveraging our strengths in cloud computing, legal information
management and automated information processing to address a growing
challenge, resulting in a direct positive impact on a law firm's bottom line."
