Autonomy Selected by the Leading Online Newspaper for the Spanish Speaking World

CAMBRIDGE, England, October 25/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader
in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that El Mundo,
the leading Spanish newspaper, has selected Autonomy's meaning-based
technology for Spain's largest online newspaper elmundo.es. El Mundo
currently licenses Autonomy to index over two million documents for an
unlimited number of visitors to their site.

Autonomy was selected by elmundo.es as the only technology
able to offer advanced functionality such as automatic hyperlinking across a
range of news sources and different languages. Autonomy's ability to
incorporate voice and video content and understanding of the online
environment were also significant factors. elmundo.es announced record
figures reaching 10 million unique readers in June, a 65% increase from
statistics recorded at the beginning of the year. This huge increase in the
number of readers per month reaffirms elmundo.es' position as the most
consulted news site in Spain and the Spanish speaking world.

"We are thrilled by the increase in online traffic on elmundo.es and
believe that Autonomy's unique technology is significantly enhancing the user
experience on the site", commented Raul Rivero, Technical Director of
elmundo.es. "By allowing easier access to elmundo.es' content, Autonomy is
ensuring that we not only attract new users but retain them."

Mike Lynch, CEO of Autonomy, commented: "The increased popularity of
elmundo.es' Website over the past few months is an excellent example of the
role innovation and technology can play within a traditional industry and
their effect on the way people interact with data."
