Legal Market

Legal professionals worldwide are facing an ever-growing onslaught of information that they must understand and manage.  This presents legal professionals and firms with multiple content and risk management problems involving documents, email, audio and video, as well as client information related to eDiscovery.  To stay competitive while managing the pressures of increased risk and the inevitable impact on productivity and client service, law firms and departments require an intelligent, comprehensive and automated approach to organize, find and govern all content across the firm or enterprise.

Autonomy provides a comprehensive yet modular set of offerings to reduce costs, lower risks, drive competitive advantage and significantly improve overall legal outcomes. Built on an advanced information processing technology called the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), Autonomy is the only company that brings together every component of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) onto one platform.  Used by 1,700 law firms and 20,000 corporations, Autonomy enables tighter linkages between the company, the legal department and outside counsel.  This dramatically increases the speed and reduces the cost of rendering legal services, while at the same time mitigates risk.
