Cambridge, UK and San Francisco , Calif. – April 1, 2008 – Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Logica (LSE: LOG. or AEX: LOG), a major international force in IT and business services, has selected Autonomy as a preferred partner for enterprise search and high-end information processing.

Autonomy technology which helps organisations maximise, monetize and mitigate risks associated with access, retrieval and management of information, will be fast-tracked to key customers within Logica’s customer base with requirements in the areas of Knowledge Management, Compliance and Security.
