Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of ZANTAZ, Inc., a global leader in content archiving and electronic discovery solutions.
Dr. Michael Lynch, group CEO of Autonomy said: “We are very pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of ZANTAZ. With this acquisition we’ll expand the addressable market, distribution and reach for Autonomy’s highly successful Aungate IDOL-based products further into rapidly growing markets driven by recent regulatory changes. Throughout this whole process we have been greatly impressed by ZANTAZ’ products and will be continuing to develop and support the whole range.” Dr. Lynch concluded: “With the addition of ZANTAZ to the Autonomy group, we expect to redefine information risk management by proactively automating the full spectrum of consolidated archiving, e-discovery, analytics and real-time policy management uniquely in one system. With the value, issues and risks associated with unstructured information squarely on the enterprise agenda, as the only vendor capable of automating operations across all forms of unstructured information Autonomy remains uniquely positioned in the market.”
On 3 July 2007, Autonomy and ZANTAZ announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement for Autonomy to acquire ZANTAZ for a purchase price of approximately $375 million in cash after certain deductions.
