The terms of the agreement are twofold. Kyneste will resell Autonomy’s Portal-in-a-Box product as part of its business solution provider programme and it will also provide hosted services to businesses through an ASP model, using Autonomy’s technology.
Autonomy will enable Kyneste to offer its clients solutions to automatically process and manage all their unstructured digital information. At the heart of Autonomy’s software is its ability to analyse a piece of text (in any language) and identify and rank the main concepts within it. It can then automatically categorise, link, personalise and deliver that information. The technology is used to automate these operations within enterprise information portals, customer relationship management, knowledge management and e-business applications.
Massimo Ferriani, CEO of Kyneste, commented: This agreement means that Kyneste, Autonomy’s first ASP partner in Italy, can effectively exploit the potentially huge ASP market in this territory, but also offer a unique technology in other forms, each appropriate to a large number of applications and markets.
Dr. Mike Lynch, founder and Group CEO of Autonomy, commented: Every enterprise – small, medium or large – is drowning in large volumes of unstructured information. With Autonomy’s infrastructure technology, Kyneste’s business models will provide a proven, automated solution for enterprises of all sizes, across all its key markets. We are very pleased to be such an important part of Kyneste’s proactive commercial strategy.
