Autonomy Interwoven Integration

August 22, 2009

I was confused when I received dozens of variations on a news release telling me that Autonomy had completed the integration of IDOL with Scrittura. The sheer volume of announcements confused me. I thought that Autonomy IDOL was a “snap in”. You can read through some of the releases yourself by running this Google query. The Silicon Valley Business Journal published “Autonomy Completes Integration of Idol into Scrittura”. I noted this passage:

“By combining IDOL’s unique meaning-based technology with Scrittura’s proven trade-processing capabilities, we will arm capital markets institutions with a solution that can keep pace with the dizzying speed and complexity of today’s financial markets. We intend to leverage Autonomy’s well-established leadership in the financial sector to deliver new levels of transparency and order to this market.”

Scrittura, according to my recollection, is a data and work flow tool that automates critical trade-related processes. My question was, “What was integrated and why?” Is it fraud detection, or some other application of IDOL? The many stories suggested this was an important announcement, but I am confused. Not unusual for an addled goose.
