The software is a pattern recognition tool that sorts and structures large amounts of unstructured data, utilizing a 18th century old mathematical theorem by Thomas Bayes. The company is based in Cambridge, UK, and was founded by Dr Mike Lynch in 1996.


Autonomy's software is used by many of the largest global corporations, and the U.S. Government such as Department of Homeland Security. Greece reported they will start using it against their domestic terrorism before the start of OS-2004.
