"Autonomy's comprehensive platform for E-Discovery and Information Governance is a proven asset for reducing legal costs and arms our customers with a competitive advantage in obtaining favourable outcomes in all manner of cases, litigations, and investigations."

Autonomy is the only vendor to provide an end-to-end platform across the entire information management lifecycle, including eDiscovery and Information Governance, and a seamless experience for its customers.

Autonomy's eDiscovery platform helps corporations become more agile and effective by creating tighter linkages with their outside counsel, streamlining the exchange of information. This enhanced connectivity, enabled by Autonomy's unique "discover-in-place" capabilities, allows firms to gain a competitive edge while providing the client with greater transparency into risks and costs.
