CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, July 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Loma Linda University Health Sciences Center (LLU) has selected Autonomy's Business Process Management solution to improve its operational efficiency. By deploying the Autonomy solution, which will include electronic forms, electronic signatures and workflows, LLU will be able to transform many of its traditional paper-based processing of physician timesheets, expense reports, student-focused processes and patient-focused processes into an automated, electronic information processing solution.

Traditional paper-based processes are often complex in nature, involving legally binding documentation, multiple layers of approval, signatures and a significant amount of paperwork. By automating many of its paper based processes, LLU aims to significantly reduce the processing time and provide the ability to track the status of each process with the click of a mouse.

LLU will be automating many of its forms-related business processes using the Autonomy's Business Process Management solution. With Autonomy, they will be able to rapidly transform all the documents and forms into digital data, which will then immediately trigger a workflow that allows a secure audit trail to be captured at every step of the process. In addition, Autonomy's unique ability to embed intelligence into the documents allows the data to be automatically and immediately validated for accuracy as it is being entered. All automated processes will also automatically extract and export the data to related transactional database applications as well as store an archived version directly within the Autonomy iManage's WorkSite document management system.

"LLU processes thousands of forms across the entire organization every month. There is an immense amount of manual paper-based processing involved daily to ensure that we are providing students, patients, faculty, employees and other constituent groups with the best services," said Brian Harris, Executive Director of Web Operations at LLU. "By enabling us to move many of these paper-intensive processes into a secure online environment, we believe that the Autonomy's Business Process Management solution will be able to reduce the time and costs associated with the management of our business processes. Security, scalability, compliance, as well as ease of integration with our existing Autonomy iManage WorkSite document management system were key in our selection of the Autonomy solution."

"We are pleased to help LLU improve its operational efficiency by eliminating manual processes and providing their administrators with immediate access to data and forms," said Sean Sullivan, Autonomy Cardiff's CEO. "We are confident that our award-winning BPM solution will deliver process acceleration and hard cost savings to them."

The Cardiff Intelligent Document suite automates all aspects of both paper-based and Web-based document-centric business processes. It delivers significant cost reduction, accelerated processes and an improved customer experience by taking formerly static documents and enabling them to 'process themselves' through the introduction of embedded intelligence.
