Iknow has worked with Autonomy and with several of the companies it has acquired (Verity, Interwoven, MediaBin) since 2007. We have experience in many of Autonomy’s solutions and platforms, including:

Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) Server - IDOL 7 / IDOL 10

At the heart of Autonomy’s infrastructure software is the Intelligent Data Operating Layer™ (IDOL). IDOL sits above an organization’s data and serves as a scalable and secure platform for enterprise search. Built on a service oriented architecture (SOA), IDOL’s flexible and modular design enables enterprises to implement any of more than 500 IDOL functionalities to meet the organizations’ needs.

The IDOL enterprise search platform offers the following features:

  • Access to ALL data sources and file types: IDOL supports over 1,000 data types, including rich media, and connects to over 400 content repositories.
  • Language independence: IDOL’s pattern-matching technology is fundamentally language independent.
  • Compatibility with all enterprise Operating Systems: IDOL is a cross-platform solution that supports all major systems.
  • FRCP compliance: IDOL provides FRCP-compliant search, as it searches all content in the enterprise with no “jump-out”.
  • Scalability: IDOL delivers linear scalability by use of its distribution model.
  • High Availability: IDOL offers a number of options to ensure redundancy and failover.
  • Security: IDOL’s mapped security model is the only index security model empirically proven to scale in the enterprise.

TeamSite offers comprehensive authoring support on all mobile devices within the context of a mobile presentation. It detects the type of mobile device being used and delivers the content according to the appropriate presentation template.
