Satyam in pact with Autonomy Corporation

BANGALORE: Satyam Computer Services has signed a strategic alliance with US

based infrastructure software provider for the enterprise sector, Autonomy

Corporation. Under the agreement, Satyam will be a services partner and offer

strategic consulting and systems integration services to architect complete

knowledge management solutions that utilize Autonomy's infrastructure

technology.

At the heart of Autonomy's software is its ability to analyze text and voice

and identify and rank the main concepts within it. It can then automatically

categorize, link, personalize and deliver that information. The technology is

used to automate these operations within enterprise information portals,

customer relationship management, knowledge management and e-business

applications.

Satyam's senior vice president-collaborative enterprise solutions, Mohan F S

Eddy said, "Analysts estimate that unstructured information is doubling in

quantity every three months. Our alliance with Autonomy combines Satyam's

strategic consulting and systems integration capability with Autonomy's unique

solution to a growing number of applications and a host of platforms and devices

that are increasingly dependent on utilizing unstructured information to build

their Knowledge Management capability. By automating key processes Autonomy's

technology offers significant savings for every type of organization and

industry."

Autonomy Corporation's co-founder and CTO, Richard Gaunt, said, "We are

expanding our partner program into a new geographic region and are pleased that

Satyam is our first partner in India. Satyam's diverse competencies and its

experience in handling large projects for global customers are closely aligned

with our partner-focused business model."
