Mr. Autonomy you may kiss the bride

Well the negotiations are over and Autonomy has completed the acquisition of Interwoven. Now the fun begins!

If I go to the Autonomy website it looks a little like an advert for "Big love". Mr Autonomy and the many wives. So how are all these products going to live together? Which product is used and when?

Apart from the sales teams being confused, what is going to happen internally? Naturally when there are multiple people (read products) involved there is going to be tensions and power struggles as to who get the love and attention of the master.

Let's just look at records management. On the site through digging around the following are referenced

Autonomy ControlPoint for SharePoint, could be related to the Meridio suite
Autonomy records management relates to Meridio when linked is clicked
iManage records management from the front page product drop down. Where is meridio?

The marriage has been sealed, now it's time to take the bride home to meet the rest of the family and see how the pecking order pans out. Looking out for some big love.
