Autonomy: Swifter than Google Again
November 27, 2008
A plumb content processing and information infrastructure project found itself a happy home at Autonomy. the win wraps up a strong November 2008 for the Cambridge-based company. You can read the story here. Autonomy said that:
the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), a global provider of secure financial messaging services and the acknowledged leader in international standards-setting for the financial industry, chose Autonomy to power its corporate Web site, www.swift.com, Intranet and Extranet. Autonomy’s core infrastructure software the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) was chosen after a competitive procurement owing to its unmatched conceptual capabilities, scalability and mapped security model.
For me, the key point is that this is another big win for Autonomy. In the last year, Autonomy has focused on identifying and winning big deals. Some vendors announce agreements to index Web sites, a business that Google is eroding with its free Customer Search Engine. Not Autonomy. The company hunts whales. Swift is as swift does.
