Autonomy gains strong foothold in US government market

NEWS UK software firm Autonomy has announced partnership agreements with six major players in the US government markets. The deal will see the partners resell Autonomy products, enabling federal, state and local government organisations to automatically manage all their knowledge and information. Dr Mike Lynch, CEO of Autonomy, said of the partnerships with CACI, Concentra, Federal Data Corp, General Dynamics, GTSI and Raytheon: "These partnership agreements reflect Autonomy's commitment to predominance in the US government marketplace." Autonomy's new partners supply nearly all federal agencies - both military and civilian - and most state governments, creating a vast increase in sales potential for the software company.
