The Enterprise Search Report 2008 looks at... Autonomy's Mathematical Approach

"Based on statistical algorithms rather than language processing, it attempts to come up with results using "Meaning-Based Computing" through its "Dynamic Reasoning Engine." Marketing buzz describes the discovery process as "understanding" the meaning of content, (which may exaggerate its cognitive capabilities), but the system can be remarkably adept at digging up deeply buried information.

Big 4 to become Big 3 Enterprise Search vendors

04-Nov-2005

UK-based enterprise search vendor Autonomy has hit upon one way to boost its stagnant revenues: acquire US-based Verity. FAST Search & Transfer might have to make some bold moves if the Autonomy - Verity deal goes through. FAST had been nipping at Autonomy's heels of late. Customers of Autonomy - Verity will have to wait and see how two technically different systems and two very different business models will blend. Enterprise Search Report readers know that both companies have struggled a bit of late. Nevertheless, FAST will have to do some hard thinking too. Enterprise search vendors continue to surprise investors, customers, and one another. Little wonder search remains a market sector that bedevils IT professionals as well.
