IDOL Developer

An Autonomy implementation is only as good as the applications it feeds. With several years of experience from Proof of Concepts to go-live public search to internal intranet portals, there are not many applications of the core IDOL functionality that I am unfamiliar with developing.

Autonomy Architect

No system will run optimally if it is not implemented correctly. Make proper use of your Distributed Handlers.

• DiSH - Distributed Service Handler
• DIH - Distributed Index Handler
• DAH - Distributed Action Handler

Autonomy's software is incredibly scalable. Its only logical limitation is the hardware and operating system that it runs on. Ensure proper installation and configuration of key components and your implementation will be ready to scale when the business requires it.

Index Optimization & Performance Enhancement

Most performance issues that Autonomy users experience are a result of one of the following:

• Poor query construction
• Misconfiguration
• Inadequate Hardware

Rely on the experience of dozens of implementations before backtracking. No one appreciates the churn of reindexing millions of documents (again) to get it right.

Relevance Tuning

One of the most frustrating parts of any search engine implementation is working backwards to produce the most relevant results possible for your users. Some common problems are:

• Dominant document types
• Repetetive Relevancy Scores
• The most eligible document not being returned in the first set of results

The correct balance of automation and manual direction is often needed to gain user acceptance.

Remote Support & Troubleshooting

Myself and a close network of Autonomy consultants are eager to be of service to you remotely. If you require a higher level of responsiveness and accountability than traditional support channels, please inquire about our availability today.

Advanced Features

Your Autonomy purchase is a substantial investement in your company's IT infrstructure. Make sure you make the most of it with greater ROI from some of Autonomy's advanced features and capabilities:

• Reduce time-consuming manual tagging with Automatic Query Guidance (AQG)
• Leverage existing heirarchies with Categorization
• Guide users to their ulitmate goal using Directed Navigation and Parametric Search

If you are only using Autonomy for Search and Retrieval then you are not receiving its full benefit.

Training

Custom on-site training tailored to your needs for IT Administrators, DBAs, and developers. Experience in both PowerPoint and hands-on configuration.
