 Autonomy Corporation plc, a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, has announced that Repsol, Spain's largest oil and gas company, has selected Autonomy's cornerstone technology, IDOL (Intelligent Data Operating Layer) and Autonomy Virage for knowledge management across the enterprise.
Repsol is one of the world's ten largest privately-owned
integrated oil and gas companies, with activities in more than thirty
countries. Based in Spain, Repsol is present in every part of the
business chain. Its oil and gas production is around a million barrels a
day. It operates four chemical plants and nine refineries in the world,
and handles over 50 million tonnes of crude oil that is transformed into a
wide range of products, which the company distributes and sells through
an extensive sales network of about 7,000 service stations.
IDOL's
unique conceptual abilities, scalability and seamless connectivity to
virtually every data type and repository will provide Repsol with a
cutting-edge enterprise search tool that removes vast amounts of manual
effort traditionally involved in retrieving and extracting value from
electronic information. Autonomy's enterprise search will enable Repsol
employees to search across different departments and operating systems,
geographic locations and languages, in order to find timely, relevant
information, regardless of data type or format. Additional capabilities
include delivering personalised information through Agents, which
understand users' interests and monitor business-critical information to
provide automated alerts, as well as categorisation, automatic
hyperlinking and conceptual clustering, all helping Repsol work more
efficiently and quickly identify market trends, risks or opportunities.
In
addition to IDOL, Repsol also selected Autonomy Virage, Autonomy's
world-leading video and audio analysis technology. Autonomy Virage's
unique ability to understand specific content and context of all rich
media information, whether an audio recording, video clip or
transcription, allows companies to quickly discover and leverage their
rich media content.
"As a world leader in our sector, we need to
ensure we have an efficient Knowledge Management system that not only
supports but boosts our business, and contributes to its success," said
Domingo Valhondo, Knowledge Management Manager at Repsol. "We chose
Autonomy as the only provider that allows us to harness all our
electronic information on one platform - including our rich media data -
and use it to its best advantage in order to improve the productivity
of our employees across multiple business units, and, ultimately, stay
competitive."
"We are excited to be working with one of Spain's
premier companies, helping it to intelligently manage its data and
deliver true innovation to the organisation," said Nigel Hutchinson, VP
of Autonomy Power solutions EMEA. "Autonomy's vision is to enable
organisations to interact with information in the most efficient way
possible in order to draw the maximum business benefit - by allowing
computers to understand meaning - and Repsol is at the forefront of that
movement."
