Autonomy’s releases first cloud-based web content archive solution
Autonomy Corporation plc, specialists in infrastructure software for the enterprise, has announced a new solution that allows businesses to automatically record and archive dynamic website content.
The solution combines Autonomy Digital Safe with Interwoven TeamSite to form the industry's only offering for including web content in a comprehensive compliance policy, the company said. It is designed to address the increasing and complex regulatory requirements for businesses presenting dynamic content on the web
Autonomy acquired Interwoven earlier this year, and said in its recent 1Q09 financial results that it had been fully integrated.
CEO of Autonomy Interwoven Anthony Bettencourt said the announcement was "another example of the powerful solutions we can bring to market by combining Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer with Autonomy Interwoven's market-leading web solutions.
"The need to record and produce point-in-time records of web content for compliance requirements is becoming a major issue at the world's largest banks, insurance companies, and retailers."
Businesses increasingly engage with their customers through online channels, constantly updating and changing offers in a dynamic manner, the company said. At the same time, courts and governmental regulatory bodies are demanding that businesses produce an exact record of offers and information delivered to a website visitor at a particular time, for use in legal matters and compliance audits.
"This has become increasingly difficult for businesses striving to deliver a modern website experience with rich media and dynamic personalized content, which is constantly updated," the company said.
Autonomy leverages the capabilities of its Digital Safe Archive and TeamSite web content management system to provide an automated, secure and scalable solution that helps businesses meet the compliance requirements of the modern web. For example, an insurance company can now produce a record of the exact premiums it offered online to a particular segment of customers during a marketing campaign conducted several months ago, the Cambridge-based company said.
Digital Safe is a massively scalable, hosted archive service that enables customers to outsource the storage and management of email messages, rich-media files, audio files, instant messages, and all forms of web content.
With over 10 petabytes of data under management, Autonomy said Digital Safe is the world's largest hosted data archive and is used by leading companies, including Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Deutsche Bank, eBay, Lincoln Financial, MetLife, Morgan Stanley, Societe Générale, and TD AMERITRADE.
TeamSite's patented web versioning capabilities enable businesses to capture snapshots of content delivered to customers at exact points in time, including rolling back to content delivered several months or years ago. This information can now be ingested and indexed by Digital Safe to help organizations meet strict eDiscovery and audit compliance requirements, including COBS 11.8 (Conduct of Business), SEC/FINRA regulations, and the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act.
