Following their acquisition of Interwoven, Autonomy have released a rough roadmap of their plans for the Worksite product.
As Autonomy is first and foremost a search company, the initial move has been to rip out the only recently introduced Vivisimo search engine and replace it with Autonomy's IDOL search (apparently this is already finished: see here)
Next, the upcoming 8.5 release is still progressing, with the major focus on:
- Better email integration. From the previous road maps we've seen this includes server side email filing
- Better off-line functionality
- Better performance
The release after that, version 9, had long been planned as the moment where Worksite (the law firm one) and Worksite MP (the Java based enterprise version) converge. From what we hear the idea was to use the Worksite MP back-end that provides advanced metadata management, with the Worksite front-end that provides more advanced email management capabilities. Autonomy have now indicated that they'll announce their plans for version 9 in the second quarter of this year.
Finally, the iManage name seems to have made a comeback. After disappearing for a number of years under Interwoven, Autonomy are now referring to the Worksite product as Autonomy iManage.
