KPMG Forensic Purchases a Leading Investigations Software Solution

London - June 5, 2006 - KPMG Forensic in the UK has signed an agreement with Aungate, specialists in Real-Time Enterprise Governance and a division of Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU.) to purchase its leading-edge investigations software solution. KPMG is the first major UK Professional Services or Advisory firm to acquire this application of Aungate technology, which has the potential to play a significant role in investigations, particularly those involving suspected fraud.

The agreement covers the use of Aungate's Automated Electronic Document Discovery (EDD) and Production solution, one of Aungate's range of real-time and automated compliance monitoring, eDiscovery and enforcement applications.

Commenting on the development, Paul Walker, Head of Forensic Technology at KPMG, said: "With technology becoming increasingly key to investigating and prosecuting fraud, KPMG is serious about building leading edge Forensic Technology differentiators for its services. This software will become an integral component of our secure Forensic Datalab? facility, offering clients the ability to use Autonomy and select a range of services without making an investment in building a capability themselves."
