Autonomy Customer Advisory Forum - New York, NY
04/12/05 02:51
I
just returned from a Customer Advisory Forum gathering
hosted by Autonomy Software
at the Ritz Carlton in South Central Park, Manhattan
Thursday and Friday morning. Autonomy is a company
based in Cambridge, UK and San Francisco, USA that
provides some amazing tools for finding and managing
information. They support search in just about any
language and any type of information including text,
audio and video. As is often the case with these
events, the host spent more time selling than needed
(all attendees were already customers). Yet overall,
the event was well planned and executed and I
learned a few things.
There were a
dozen attendees from the U.S., U.K., and Austrailia.
Media and healthcare companies were well
represented. The most interesting presentation was
presented by Joseph Britto, MD of Isabel Healthcare
who
was motivated to develop a medical diagnostic KM
system after the loss of a patient. Dr. Britto
provides a good demonstration of the potential of KM
software in the medical profession and also a great
human interest story.
