16th Nov 2000 Knowledge Management: Automating the Processing of Unstructured Information across all Digital Domains

 

Speaker 1 Nick Parnell, Technology Solutions Consultant,
Autonomy Systems Ltd
 
Summary How much time do your employees waste each day on the following:
  • Surfing the web to stay up-to-speed on industry developments?
  • Wading through the results of less-than-accurate search engines in search of a specific document or the answer to a particular question?
  • Reinventing the wheel because they don't know that a colleague across the hall - or across the ocean - recently researched the same issue or developed a similar proposal?
  • Tagging, hyperlinking or otherwise manually preparing documents or articles for publication online?

While everyone loves the idea of knowledge management, if you don't pick the right technologies you could be adding to your employees' workload and decreasing productivity instead of enhancing it.

Companies that have successfully implemented KM systems do not employ large numbers of people to cross-reference, hyperlink, categorize and summarize information. They have eliminated the manual effort associated with these processes through choosing the right technology.

Autonomy’s software makes the accurate retrieval of information easy and intuitive, doing away with the laborious processes of form-filling, questionnaires and fruitless keyword searches. By aggregating and making sense of content from diverse information repositories, Autonomy's software has given a broad range of blue-chip companies the power to harness their knowledge resources, helping them to stay competitive in the age of digital commerce.

Nick Parnell Nick Parnell is Technology Solutions Consultant for Autonomy, the major UK software company listed on the US hi-tech NASDAQ market.

In addition to his work at Autonomy, Nick is a committee member of the influential City Information Group and presents its monthly seminars at venues in and around the City of London. He is also a steering group member of the Henley Knowledge Management Forum that brings together business practitioners, industry thought-leaders and academics to help organisations tackle the new challenges presented by the digital information age.

Nick joined Autonomy from the FT’s information division where he established a large-volume automated indexing system processing articles from more than one thousand newsfeeds worldwide. His experience of first-generation approaches to search, retrieval and categorisation made him an early and firm believer in Autonomy’s concept-based approach as the only feasible solution for the true automation of these processes.

 
Autonomy  
Autonomy's technology powers large-scale personalised systems for the Enterprise, Internet and other Digital domains. Because of its ability to analyse any piece of text (independent of the document's language) and identify and rank the main ideas, Autonomy can automate a broad range of otherwise labour intensive tasks. These range from categorising information by subject matter, to inserting hypertext links to related material, to profiling users based on the ideas in the text they read or write, to delivering information to those most likely to be interested.

Autonomy (EASDAQ/NASDAQ: AUTN) was founded in 1996 and has offices in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, New York, and Washington, D.C. in the United States, as well as offices in Amsterdam, Brussels, Cambridge, England, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, Oslo and Sydney.
