CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, June 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Autonomy Records Manager has received the U.S. Department of Defense's (DoD) Standard for Records Management (DoD5015.02) certification. This certification verifies the Autonomy solution's ability to control the creation, declaration, classification, retention, legal holds, transfers, and disposition of electronic and non-electronic records. In addition, this certification recognizes that Autonomy Records Manager fully meets the stringent requirements of managing records in a classified environment where security and access are critical.

Autonomy Records Manager has also received the DoD5015.02, Chapter 2 certification, which validates its seamless integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 to extend the full range of records management controls to SharePoint users. Autonomy Records Manager's integration with Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides a full range of controls and makes it possible for organizations using SharePoint 2010 to manage their records in an environment that is compliant with the global benchmark.

The United States Department of Defense Records Management Program DoD 5015.02 provides implementation and procedural guidance on the management of records in the Department of Defense. This Standard sets forth mandatory requirements for Records Management Application (RMA) software used by DoD Components in the implementation of their records management programs. It also defines required system interfaces and search criteria to be supported by the RMAs and describes the records management requirements that must be met, based on current National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) regulations. The DoD standard is widely adopted outside the Defense industry in both commercial and government markets as defining best practices in Electronic Records Management.
