•Guest Column: Autonomy Remains Fully Committed To The Support And Development Of EAS

By Jerome M Wendt and James Koopmann, DCIG LLC

As analysts within the electronically stored information (ESI) space, DCIG pays close attention to not only features and benefits of specific products and solutions but also monitors other articles, blogs, and columns in the broader market place about specific vendors. In instances where allegations are made, it then tries to sort fact from fiction and present a more complete picture. Recently, some allegations about Autonomy have surfaced that sparked interest at DCIG as to their accuracy. To try to shed some light on the subject and move the conversation beyond hearsay to actual fact, DCIG contacted Autonomy about some statements that recently appeared online to clear the air for ourselves, as well as for our readers, at to what the recent changes at Autonomy mean for companies that currently rely upon or are looking to select Autonomy's archiving solutions.

One comment that appeared a few months ago on David Ferris's blog included the posting of an anonymous note that he had received about Autonomy's recent decision to close its office in Ottawa and move these employees to another location. It specifically questioned how this would affect the development efforts of Autonomy's ZANTAZ Enterprise Archiving Solutions (EAS) since it closed the office where EAS developers had previously resided. A comment on another site alleges that Autonomy has relegated EAS to strictly maintenance mode and has no further development planned. To us, it seems odd that Autonomy, whose strategic direction is to continue providing eDiscovery solutions, would decide to let this product languish as email archiving is a key component of their overall solution.
