SAN FRANCISCO, March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc
(LSE: AU.), a leading provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise,
announced today that the Instituto Mexicano del Petroleo, Mexico's largest
source of scientific investigation and technological development for the
petroleum industry, has selected Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer
(IDOL) to power their enterprise-wide information portal. The portal provides
approximately 4,300 energy experts and technicians with access to information
from the Institute's vast library, which is the largest and most specialized
of its kind in Mexico.
IMP provides numerous Mexican energy suppliers with the scientific and
industry knowledge necessary to discover, refine, and deliver oil to the
world's energy market. Using IDOL, IMP has been able to reduce the time
engineers spend searching, addressing a critical need for real-time access to
the most up-to-date and accurate research and development information. Using
Autonomy's advanced personalization, profiling, categorization, and
collaboration capabilities, IMP can facilitate knowledge distribution across
their many oil and gas projects, and enable individuals to spend more time
analyzing and disseminating information, instead of merely collecting it. The
end result is production of higher quality products, recommendations, and
decisions across the Mexican energy industry.
"Autonomy differentiated itself from other vendors through their
willingness to work with us to promote a paradigm shift within the IMP
organization," said Dr. Ernesto Azuela, Knowledge Management and Technological
Intelligence Program Coordinator. "Instead of our engineers performing
inaccurate searches that waste valuable time, Autonomy actually pushes the
correct information to them -- exactly when they need it. This is a hugely
powerful resource that will change the way that IMP operates at core level."
IMP has a solid and sound technological base, and has been providing
services and cutting-edge applications for the Mexican state-owned oil company
PEMEX for 40 years, among other clients. Embedded in their own knowledge
management and technological intelligence developments, Autonomy will help IMP
to deliver valuable structured and unstructured content and context rich
information objects.
"The Instituto Mexicano del Petroleo is a prime example of the benefit
Autonomy's IDOL platform brings to managing structured and unstructured data,"
said Stouffer Egan, US CEO, Autonomy. "You can find and access the relevant
data you need more quickly and do it across a multitude of languages,
including Spanish."
Autonomy's unique Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) integrates
unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from multiple
repositories through an understanding of their content. Autonomy grants
organizations the flexibility to use advanced information retrieval or
legacy-based approaches. At the heart of Autonomy's software is its ability to
process text, voice and video and identify and rank the main concepts within
them. It then automatically categorizes, links, summarizes, personalizes and
delivers that information. Autonomy's technology also drives collaboration
across different departments and interest groups and enables them to
effectively leverage expertise. Autonomy's infrastructure technology is used
to automate operations within enterprise information portals, customer
relationship management, knowledge management, business intelligence and
e-business applications, among others.
