Autonomy has announced a new release of its flagship document management solution, WorkSite version 9.0.

It is designed to offer a private cloud computing platform and new capabilities in mobile support and security.

To enhance mobile security, WorkSite 9 enables users to designate certain types of content within the store as "sensitive". This sensitive content is automatically encrypted by the WorkSite platform for storage without the need for any third-party software, allowing law firms to comply with new regulations and protect sensitive customer data from cyber attacks.

The new WorkSite 9 private cloud platform allows access via traditional desktop clients (thick clients), web-based interfaces (thin client) or via a mobile device (micro clients).

"With the increased use of mobile devices in today's business environment, email usage has gone up, but the need to capture and manage email and keep information up-to-date remains," said Neil Araujo, CEO of Autonomy Protect.

"The latest release of WorkSite 9 significantly enhances workers' productivity and responsiveness to customers' needs by allowing secured access to the repository from the latest preferred user devices. The new security and virtualisation features also give organisations the flexibility to meet their growing business requirements."
