Briefs: Autonomy signs up Xerox; Antenova antenna in mass production in Korea; Meldex appoints new chairman, exec director
Autonomy Corporation plc, provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise, said Xerox Corporation has entered into an OEM agreement with the company. The new license will allow Xerox to integrate Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) technology into its DocuShare enterprise content management (ECM) platform.
Xerox DocuShare users will get enhanced search performance with higher volumes of content, as IDOL can support millions of documents in all file formats, and scales to support the largest enterprise-wide and portal deployments in the world. The IDOL server also significantly eases search index maintenance, historically a time-consuming and expensive process. The server will be integrated into existing DocuShare accounts worldwide, and into all future product releases.
The company, the largest high tech by market capitalisation HQed in Cambridge - it's worth just over £2 billion, will release financial results for the year ended December tomorrow.
