FORTUNE 1000 CUSTOMERS ADOPT BRIO/AUTONOMY SOLUTION

Brio Technology Inc, a leading provider of business intelligence and analytic solutions for the Fortune 1000, announced that its licensing agreement with Autonomy Corporation plc, a global leader in infrastructure software for the Web and the enterprise, has garnered tremendous support from today's leading organizations. Announced last March, Brio's Knowledge Server, a component of the Brio Enterprise Decision Platform, integrates Autonomy's technology for the automatic aggregation, categorization, personalization and retrieval of unstructured information. Several Fortune 100 companies have embraced the Knowledge Server, including Boeing, PG&E, Motorola, and TIAA-Cref.

"Early movers in the enterprise portal framework market came from the areas of knowledge management (Autonomy, Verity, Semio), business intelligence (Brio, Hummingbird), and collaboration," said Dave Folger, vice president, Web and collaboration strategies, META Group. "Leading products in this space are evolving into frameworks capable of delivering many content types from corporate and external sources and integrated applications. We are already seeing end-user adoption of these next-generation frameworks for faster, more informed decision-making."

The basis of this combined product offering is Brio's customizable and scalable framework that enables organizations to quickly deploy initiatives that allow employees, partners, and customers to conduct self-service analysis of corporate data, office documents, and Web content and drive improved business performance without taxing IT administrators. The Knowledge Server complements the open Brio Enterprise Decision Platform, allowing integration of new content sources while continuing to provide users with the ability to search, crawl and index information from their existing infrastructure.

"Already Brio is enabling corporations to obtain greater insight into their business operations with increased business analysis capabilities," said Neil Patil, director of strategic marketing at Brio Technology. "The combined solution of Brio and Autonomy has given our world-class customers the ability to experience the dynamic results of faster, more refined, and immediate access to relevant information to drive their businesses."

Specifically, the integration of Autonomy's pattern-matching technology allows the Brio Enterprise Decision Platform to identify and rank the main concepts within a piece of text. Autonomy's solution retrieves relevant matches and assigns a rating far more accurate than any keyword-based system on the market today. Autonomy also enables the automatic categorization, linking and personalization of information.

"The Brio Enterprise Decision Platform leverages Autonomy's infrastructure technology to present its users with appropriate and timely information," stated David Appelbaum, General Manager of North America, Autonomy. "Our relationship with Brio has resulted in a number of implementations and customers that are realizing significant value from the advanced insight that the joint solution offers. We look forward to continuing to work with Brio to build our complementary offerings and see the incredible user satisfaction for our customers."
