Hewlett Packard (HP) announced to have cut 70 jobs from its Autonomy in the first reduction in force since the company had found accounting issues at the firm.

Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) has received expressions of interest from a number of parties to acquire Autonomy Corp. plc, according to people familiar with the discussions. The overtures have come mainly from other U.S. tech companies or their representatives, the people said. Some potential buyers have also expressed interest HP Enterprise Services, LLC (EDS). Chief Executive Officer of HP, Meg Whitman, so far isn't in selling mode, the people said. However, the company said in a recent regulatory filing that it would consider divesting some businesses "that may no longer help us meet our objectives." It's unclear if the EDS unit, which is tightly integrated into H-P's operations, can be extracted and sold off as a unit, one of the people said. However, Autonomy, a more recent acquisition, would be easier to sell, the person added.

Autonomy announced that the State of Oregon has selected HP TRIM as the cornerstone of a cloud-based records management system that will allow state, city and county agencies to manage, secure and provide access to digital and physical documents. Called Oregon Records Management Solution (ORMS), the cloud-based system is the result of a unique public-private collaboration between Autonomy, Chaves Consulting and Arikkan, utilizing HP TRIM to implement the first statewide electronic records management solution of its kind in the country. ORMS implements HP TRIM in the cloud as part of a Software-as-a-Service solution to make access to government records easier, more transparent, and affordable. Currently a pilot program, ORMS will provide agencies with the ability to manage records in an efficient, uniform manner and save money on storage, risk and litigation costs. ORMS will allow agencies to comply with Oregon public records law for scheduled notification of automated retention and destruction of records. In addition, ORMS will support eDiscovery projects when legal teams must produce and review large volumes of information.
