CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, California, February 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that 20 Minutos, the highest circulating Spanish newspaper reaching an audience of 2.5 million readers daily, has selected Autonomy's meaning-based technology to power its public facing website, http://www.20minutos.es and index up to 2.2 million documents. The unique news portal features an extensive selection of news stories in a number of different formats including text, audio, and video attracting approximately half a million unique users daily. 20 Minutos' readers will now benefit from instant access to sought-after content, customized recommendations to conceptually similar stories and automatic summaries of articles in any format for a first-class user experience.
"As the largest news provider in Spain, 20 Minutos consistently strives to exceed the expectations of its content-hungry audiences in the age of information overload," commented José Martinez Soler, Director General, 20 Minutos. "Legacy technologies for data retrieval rely heavily on keywords thus potentially omitting key documents from the results. Furthermore, their inability to understand the meaning of information results in the lack of any processing capabilities. Autonomy was the obvious choice for us owing to its unique conceptual capabilities, language and format independence, and unparalleled scalability."
Autonomy's core infrastructure software, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), can derive meaning from content from over 1,000 data types and virtually all languages thus overcoming traditional barriers to data retrieval and allowing cross-referencing across languages, geographical locations and data types. IDOL's truly innovative features such as Conceptual Retrieval, Hyperlinking, and Summarization add unprecedented level of intelligence to data access and processing thus enabling 20 Minutos' readers to keep their finger at the pulse of information, automatically and in real-time.
"Today's discerning online reader expects to find desired information at the click of a button," commented Emmanuel Meriot, Regional Manager for Autonomy Southern Europe. "Autonomy is delighted to supplement 20 Minutos' unique news offering with a first-class user experience for its web readers."
