Autonomy Wins Another Award
May 14, 2010
Short honk: What is a secret ingredient for Autonomy’s continued success in the search and content processing market? I think I picked up an important clue when I read “Autonomy’s Sushovan Hussain Wins CFO of the Year Award”. The key passage for me was:
Sushovan Hussain has played a crucial role in Autonomy’s exceptional growth trajectory. Over the last five years, Autonomy has generated an adjusted EPS CAGR of 73%, grown to become one of the three largest software companies in Europe and the best performer on the FTSE 100. During that time, Autonomy has made three strategic acquisitions totaling some $1.8 billion culminating in the announcement of the acquisition of Interwoven for $775m in January 2009.
Technology’s role. Important but this award underscores the importance of a sharp pencil.
