March 11, 2008

CAMBRIDGE, England and PLEASANTON, California, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy ZANTAZ (LSE: AU. or AU.L), the leader in the archiving, eDiscovery and Proactive Information Risk Management (IRM) markets, today announced that Vercadia Systems has joined its Consulting Services Partner Program. This partnership with Vercadia Systems, a leading electronic discovery systems integrator and consultancy, enables ZANTAZ clients to take advantage of Vercadia's more than 45 years of combined expertise in eDiscovery. Vercadia Systems provides professional services to the Electronic Discovery industry, including best practices, workflow automation and data analytics.

"Corporations are facing an unprecedented amount of discovery data and more demanding discovery schedules," said Ellery Dyer, partner at Vercadia Systems. "Increasingly, organizations are looking for a single, seamless discovery solution to meet this challenge, and uniquely, Autonomy ZANTAZ has the complete solution. Vercadia's role is to maximize the benefits of the deployed solution through knowledge transfer, customizations and integration."

Lack of awareness of relevant information within the organization can result in duplication of effort, inefficiency and protracted data search, but these are relatively inconsequential when compared to the potentially disastrous consequences of failing to adhere to regulations such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). Autonomy ZANTAZ is the only vendor to offer the full spectrum of IRM solutions. Powered by Autonomy's next generation Meaning-based Computing technology, Autonomy ZANTAZ solutions enable companies to benefit from complete control over all enterprise content for the entire information lifecycle.

"Vercadia's services are high impact. Vercadia fully understands the challenges and risks inherent in the discovery process and how Autonomy ZANTAZ' technologies can be leveraged to gain a competitive advantage. We are confident that Vercadia will be an asset to our customers," said Anthony Bettencourt , CEO of Autonomy ZANTAZ.
