Royal at Autonomy
May 30, 2010
“His Royal Highness the Duke of York Visits Autonomy Headquarters” may not do much for the three North Americans reading this blog. A visit from a royal is a very big deal in Cambridge, England. For me the key passage in the write up was:
Autonomy Corporation plc, a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that His Royal Highness, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York will be visiting its European headquarters in the Cambridge Business Park. During his visit today His Royal Highness will learn about Autonomy’s unparalleled journey from the engineering research labs of Cambridge University a little over a decade ago to become the largest software company in the UK, a FTSE 100 company and the winner of two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in the Innovation and International Trade categories. In addition to introductions from Autonomy’s senior management executive team, His Royal Highness the Duke of York will meet Autonomy employees from a range of departments including Autonomy’s award-wining Research & Development team which leads the world in meaning-based software technology solutions.
So what about that next tender offer for search and its requirement for a reference? The Duke of York is an name for the procurement team to consider calling for an Autonomy reference.
