Autonomy has announced enhancements to its Virage MediaBin platform that includes enhanced connectivity to a wide range of content repositories, as well as enhancements to improve the user experience.

Leveraging Autonomy's Meaning Based Computing (MBC) technology, Virage MediaBin 7.1 automatically forms a conceptual understanding of all rich media assets located in any internal or external repository, including social media, blogs, and videos.

Many organizations depend on traditional systems that require a cumbersome manual tagging of assets, an antiquated approach that is incapable of scaling with the constant proliferation of new forms of content.

Autonomy claims its Virage solution overcomes these challenges by enabling businesses to automatically understand the value of all digital assets created both inside and outside an organisation, and dynamically deliver the right content to the right customer.

Virage MediaBin 7.1 combines IDOL technology with new workflow capabilities that automatically identifies and indexes newly created content in a repository, including PIM, PLM, and ERP systems. Colleagues in creative, legal, marketing, and production can use the new workflow capabilities to automatically apply the relevant content to the project they are working on.
