Autonomy launches new version of Interwoven TeamSite

Autonomy has added its Idol technology to Interwoven's TeamSite

Infrastructure software provider Autonomy has announced the first new product to result from its £561m takeover of enterprise content management vendor Interwoven earlier this year.

Just days after Autonomy announced the completion of the acquisition, the firm unveiled the new version of Interwoven's TeamSite web content management product.

TeamSite will run on Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (Idol) platform, allowing new functionality such as the conceptual understanding of content, and the ability to gain a holistic view of customers by pulling together data from web, instant messaging, email and call centre channels, according to Autonomy chief executive Mike Lynch.

"It's important because you get pin-for-pin compatibility. You don't lose any functionality," he explained. "But because it's Idol, there is a big increase in scalability. Search is 10 times faster."

Lynch added that Autonomy has been able to make the announcement so speedily because Idol is already in over 500 other software products, and is therefore designed to be integrated quickly into products.

"In the next couple of months you will start to see some extra functionality, " he said. "We hope this moves the market up to the next level."
