Meaning

The explosion of unstructured information such as emails, Instant Messaging, audio, video, blogs, and Web pages provides a new richness of information for organizations to leverage for business value and competitive advantage. However, it also introduces new challenges and risks regarding business operations, regulations and even litigation. In order for computers to automate the processing of this information, a fundamental shift in computing needs to occur - one beyond legacy keyword search and structured relational databases.

How Does Autonomy ZANTAZ Resolve the Challenge of Meaning?

At the heart of our advanced infrastructure software lies the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL). IDOL uses sophisticated pattern-matching techniques and probabilistic modeling to form a conceptual and contextual understanding of all digital information - structured and unstructured - and thus enables computers to process information like humans do by reading, watching and listening to it. Through these advanced analytics, IDOL automates the processing of this content regardless of its format, location, language, or which application is associated with the data. Sophisticated mathematics are applied to derive meaning by determining dominant terms and idea distances.

IDOL sits above an organization's data to perform keyword and conceptual search, speech analytics, video search, email and Instant Messaging (IM) search and categorization. IDOL's ability to extract meaning from information through an understanding of both the content and context of data allows Autonomy to enrich extracted data based on the knowledge already held within the organization.

With IDOL as a common platform for Autonomy ZANTAZ's archival, eDiscovery, and real-time policy management products, they deliver unprecedented access, visibility and management capabilities.
