Cambridge, UK and SAN FRANCISCO — November 12, 2009 — Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that EarthLink, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELNK), a leading Internet Service Provider with millions of customers, is using Autonomy Optimost to significantly improve the click-through rates (CTR) on its web sites.

It is used by thousands of businesses around the world and has a proven track record in helping its clients achieve double-digit increases in conversion rates and online sales.

“Autonomy Optimost has changed the way we make decisions regarding how best to launch new creative and content for our websites,” said Wendy Kastner, senior manager, Creative Services at EarthLink, Inc. “We use Autonomy Optimost to make informed decisions based on quantitative analysis of the data, instead of relying solely on subjective opinions.
