Autonomy releases information governance tools
By Asavin Wattanajantra,
Cambridge- and US-based enterprise infrastructure company Autonomy has released a suite of tools which it claims will give businesses real-time information on compliance efforts.
It announced a product called 'Autonomy Information Governance', which it says is the first information governance platform that will automate real-time policy management based on understanding of enterprise information.
Autonomy said it is a major step forward in reducing the risks present in all information, as it applies policy by understanding what an email, document or phone recording does instead of just by its metadata.
"Most organisations are under the misconception that their current technologies are enough - that is, until they've had one really bad experience," said Browning Marean, Partner, DLA Piper US LLP.
"With 14,000 separate records retention regulations out there and the complexities and costs being incurred just trying to comply with legal hold requests, a company doesn't have a capability to manage this without advanced technology."
The product supplies 400 data repository connectors that allows management to retrieve documents, email, audio or visual information through the entire enterprise. Key modules are for compliance, enterprise legal hold and disposition management.
"Developments in the global regulatory and legal environment are compelling many corporations to start taking a unified approach to IT governance, IT compliance, and IT risk management, which have historically existed as discrete silos within corporations," said Vivian Tero, Research Manager at Compliance Infrastructure, IDC.
