HP Autonomy, previously Autonomy Corporation PLC, was an enterprise software company which was merged with Micro Focus in 2017 and OpenText in 2023 (OpenText had acquired the content management assets of Autonomy in 2016). It was founded in Cambridge, United Kingdom in 1996.

Contents

Autonomy was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP) in October 2011. The deal valued Autonomy at $11.7 billion (£7.4 billion). Within a year, HP had written off $8.8 billion of Autonomy's value. [1] HP claimed this resulted from "serious accounting improprieties" and "outright misrepresentations" by the previous management. [2] [3] The former CEO, Mike Lynch, said that the problems were due to HP's running of Autonomy. [4]

HP recruited Robert Youngjohns, ex-Microsoft president of North America, to take over HP Autonomy in September 2012. In 2015, HP was split into HP Inc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE); HP Autonomy assets were divided between them with HPE taking the larger part. HP Inc later sold its Autonomy content management assets to Canadian software company OpenText in 2016. In 2017, HPE sold its remaining Autonomy assets, as part of a wider deal, to the British software company Micro Focus. [5] In 2023, OpenText acquired Micro Focus, and reunited the two halves of former Autonomy assets. [6]

History

Inception and expansion

Autonomy was founded in Cambridge, England by Michael Lynch and Richard Gaunt in 1996 as a spin-off from Cambridge Neurodynamics, a firm specializing in computer-based fingerprint recognition. [7] [8] It used a combination of technologies born out of research at the University of Cambridge and developed a variety of enterprise search and knowledge management applications using adaptive pattern recognition techniques centered on Bayesian inference in conjunction with traditional methods. It maintained an aggressively entrepreneurial marketing approach, and sales controls described as a "rod of iron" - allegedly firing the weakest 5% of its sales force each quarter whilst cosseting the best sales staff "like rock stars". [1]

Autonomy floated in 1998 on the EASDAQ exchange at a share price of approximately £0.30. At the height of the "dot-com bubble", the peak share price was £30. [9] [10]

December 2005: Autonomy acquired Verity, Inc., one of its main competitors, for approximately US$500 million. [11] In 2005 Autonomy also acquired Neurodynamics. [12]

May 2007: After exercising an option to buy a stake in technology start up Blinkx Inc, and combining it with its consumer division, Autonomy floated Blinkx on a valuation of $250 million. [13]

July 2007: Autonomy acquired Zantaz, an email archiving and litigation support company, for $375 million. [14]

October 2007: Autonomy acquired Meridio Holdings Ltd, a UK company based in Northern Ireland that specialised in Records Management software, for £20 million. [15]

28 May 2008: Kainos extended its partnership with Autonomy for high-end information processing and Information Risk Management (IRM) to deliver information governance solutions to its customer base. [16]

January 2009: Autonomy acquired Interwoven, a niche provider of enterprise content management software, for $775 million. [17] Interwoven became Autonomy Interwoven and Autonomy iManage.

In 2009 Paul Morland, a leading analyst, started raising concerns about Autonomy's exaggerated performance claims. [18]

June 2010: Autonomy announced that it was to acquire the Information Governance business of CA Technologies. Terms of the sale were not disclosed. [19]

5 May 2011: The Mercedes Formula One team announced an $8 million sponsorship deal with Autonomy, and on 8 July 2010 Tottenham Hotspur FC announced a two-year sponsorship deal with Autonomy for their Premier League kit. [20] For the 2011–12 season Spurs' Premier League shirt featured Autonomy's augmented reality technology Aurasma. [21]

16 May 2011: Autonomy acquired Iron Mountain Digital, a pioneer in E-discovery and online backup solutions provider, for $380 million from Iron Mountain Incorporated. [22]

Hewlett-Packard

On 18 August 2011, Hewlett-Packard announced that it would purchase Autonomy for US$42.11 per share with a premium of around 79% over market price that was widely criticized as "absurdly high", a "botched strategy shift" and a "chaotic" attempt to rapidly reposition HP and enhance earnings by expanding the high-margin software services sector. [23] [24] [25] The transaction was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both HP and Autonomy and the Autonomy board recommended that its shareholders accept the offer. [26] On 3 October 2011 HP closed the deal, announcing that it had acquired around 87.3% of the shares for around $10.2 billion, and valuing the company at around $11.7 billion in total. [27]

On 10 January 2012, legal entity Autonomy Corporation PLC was converted into private company Autonomy Corporation Limited. [28]

In May 2012, Mike Lynch left his role as Autonomy CEO after a significant drop in revenue in the previous quarter. [29]

In September 2012, Robert Youngjohns was appointed SVP & GM of Autonomy/Information Management Business Unit. [30]

In November 2012, Hewlett-Packard announced that it was taking an $8.8 billion accounting charge after claiming "serious accounting improprieties" and "outright misrepresentations" at Autonomy; [2] [3] its share price fell to a decades' low on the news. [31] Previous management in turn accused HP of a "textbook example of defensive stalling"  [32] : 6  to conceal evidence of its own prior knowledge and gross mismanagement and undermining of the company, noting public awareness since 2009 of its financial reporting issues [32] : 3  and that even HP's CFO disagreed with the price paid. [1] [32] : 3–6  External observers stated that only a small part of the write-off appeared to be due to accounting mis-statements, and that HP had overpaid for businesses previously. [1] [33] Lynch said that the problems were due to HP's running of Autonomy, [4] citing "internecine warfare" within the organization. [34] Major culture clashes had been reported in the press. [1]

The Serious Fraud Office (United Kingdom), and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission joined the FBI in investigating the potential anomalies. In January 2015, the SFO closed its investigation as the chance of successful prosecution was low. [35] [36] [37]

Three lawsuits were brought by shareholders against HP, for the fall in value of HP shares. In August 2014, a United States district court judge threw out a proposed settlement involving a fee of up to $48 million: Autonomy's previous management had argued the settlement would be collusive and was intended to divert scrutiny of HP executives' own responsibility and knowledge. [38] [39]

In November 2013, the HP Exstream customer communication management (CCM) business, formerly part of the HP LaserJet and Enterprise Solutions (LES) business, joined the HP Autonomy organization. [40]

On 30 January 2014, the company announced that one of its partners, Kainos, had integrated HP IDOL 10.5, the new version of HP Autonomy's information analytics engine, into Kainos's electronic medical record platform, Evolve. [41]

On 31 October 2015, Autonomy's software products were divided between HP Inc (HPQ) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as a result of the Hewlett-Packard Company separation. HP Inc was assigned ownership largely consisting of Autonomy's content management software components including TeamSite, Qfiniti, Qfiniti Managed Services, MediaBin, Optimost, and Explore. Hewlett Packard Enterprise retained ownership of the remaining software and legal entity of Autonomy Corporation Limited. [42] [43]

Acquisition by Micro Focus and OpenText

2 May 2016: OpenText acquired HP TeamSite, HP MediaBin, HP Qfiniti, HP Explore, HP Aurasma, and HP Optimost from HP Inc for $170 million. [44]

In 2017, HPE sold its Autonomy assets, as part of a wider deal valued at $8.8 billion, to the British software company Micro Focus. [45] [5] Micro Focus acquired the operating subsidiary Autonomy Systems Limited and related foreign subsidiaries on 1 September 2017. [46] Legal entity and former parent company Autonomy Corporation Limited was merged with fellow HPE subsidiary ACL Netherlands B.V. and ceased to exist. [47] [48]

In April 2018 Autonomy's ex-CFO Sushovan Hussain was charged in the US and found guilty in of accounting fraud, [49] and subsequently allowed out on bail after his appeal raised a "substantial question over his conviction." [50] Hussain's appeal failed in August 2020. [51]

Based on Hussain's evidence, Lynch was charged with fraud in November 2018. [52] Lynch said he would contest extradition and that he "vigorously rejects all the allegations against him." [53]

In March 2019, HP brought a civil action in the UK courts. The case was heard in a trial lasting 93 days, with Lynch present in the witness box for 22 days, making it one of the longest cross-examinations in British legal history. [54] In January 2022, the High Court in London ruled that HP had "substantially won" its civil case against Lynch and Hussain in which HP claimed that the two individuals had "artificially inflated Autonomy's reported revenues, revenue growth and gross margins". [55]

In September 2020, Deloitte, who audited Autonomy between 2009 and 2011, were fined £15m for its audits that contained “serious and serial failures”. [56]

In August 2022, OpenText announced that it would acquire Micro Focus in a deal valued at US$6 billion. [57] The acquisition was approved by the court on 27 January 2023, the transaction was completed on 31 January 2023. [6] [58]
