Content Management Matters ™

Enterprise infrastructure software purveyor and valiant digital copyright protector Autonomy has announced the availability of new advanced features for its Pan-Enterprise Search platform, IDOL (Intelligent Data Operating Layer). These features include drag and drop personalization, video indexing, and intent-based ranking among other new additions.

If ever there was a Best Year Ever, Mochila's having it.

In August, Mochila -- the first global online media marketplace for print, video, and photo content -- joined forces with Clickability, a leading content management platform.

In September, Reuters became a premier content provider. And Belo, one of the nation’s largest media companies, followed suit as a premier content syndicator.

Not to be outdone, Citizen Image, a user-generated “photojournalist” firm, joined Mochila as yet another premier content provider in October.

We're well into our last month of 2007, and Mochila has announced still more partnerships and services. Frankly, I don't know how they do it.

No one's safe from the M&A bug. UK firm Autonomy has just agreed to purchase Belfast-based Meridio for US$ 40.8 million.

Meridio is a global provider of enterprise document and records management software. Earlier this month, it updated its proprietary offering for easier integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) and MS Exchange.

Not a bad relationship for its new parent company to inherit.

Autonomy, an enterprise infrastructure software purveyor, has just announced its purchase of ZANTAZ, which specializes in content archiving and e-discovery solutions software.

The pairing is expected to "redefine" information risk management by combining e-discovery, analytics, real-time policy management and consolidated archiving into one system.

Never one to shy away from a partnership when it improves the image of its products, Microsoft is happy to welcome Autonomy to the family of Enterprise Search Partners.

Movies and TV survived the VHS scare. Whether they'll completely survive digital media piracy is a different story -- and it isn't just film and TV that's in trouble; it's music and publishing, too.

In response to this concern, and because somebody out there still thinks it's possible to stake a claim to digital media, Autonomy brings us Virage ACID, automated copyright infringement detection.
