The main technology, 'Intelligent Data Operating Layer' (IDOL), allows search and processing of text taken from database, audio, video or text files or streams. The processing of such information by IDOL is referred to by Autonomy as Meaning-Based Computing.
Autonomy's technology attempts to "understand" any form of unstructured information, including text, voice, and video, and based on that understanding perform automatic operations, for example inferring what the user wants and on that basis finding other information that may be of interest.
On 29 November 2011, HP announced a new big data analytics platform, "HP Next Generation Information Platform", based on a combination of Autonomy’s unstructured data analytics engine, IDOL 10 and Vertica's fast-loading, real-time analytics database. This strategic move by HP is part of its refocus on enterprise software, and enterprise integration solutions and services. The platform will combine structured data with unstructured information - which comprises about 80% of the data on the web such as video, pictures, emails etc.; and handle them in a unified manner.
