NATO won over by Autonomy's IDOL
Autonomy Corporation plc, a provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise, said the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has selected its meaning-based technology to power its internal information portal.
More than 300 experts are using Autonomy's technology to access, retrieve, process and analyze open source information from different news agencies and websites.
NATO's needs "the best available solutions to index all the external content coming from several repositories and make that information easily available to our experts," said Bernard Frala, System Manager in NATO.
"Selecting Autonomy to power our internal information portal was easy; its unique meaning-based technology is in a class of its own."
Autonomy's core software infrastructure product, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), was selected for its ability to form an understanding from unstructured information and identify patterns between disparate pieces of information. IDOL's language independence played a decisive role in the selection process as NATO professionals need to keep abreast of new developments and breaking stories across the world. Features such as Categorisation, Clustering, and Hyperlinking enable NATO experts to keep their finger at the pulse of information automatically and in real-time.
"Several national security institutions have been using our technology for many years with great success," said Victor Cohen, Regional Manager, Autonomy Northern Europe.
