Company HP has received a controlling package of shares of Autonomy Corporation, a british developer of enterprise applications

About a possible acquisition of Autonomy representatives of Hewlet Packard announced back in August, when it became clear that this oldest american manufacturer of personal computers is going to change the scope of activities. We remind, that in the nearest time, HP shall sell the unit for the production of personal systems and, in the alternative, will focus on the release of the software and the development of new IT solutions. Now the company has made the first serious step in this direction, having received the consent of the shareholders'Autonomy sell 213 421 299 of shares owned by them of 25.5 pounds apiece. In other words, HP will acquire 87,34% of all the shares of the developer of the business programme for the $12 billion. This, of course, to $ 500 million less than Google's going to pay for the acquisition of Motorola's Mobility, but you must agree, the amount is not small, which confirms the fundamental intention of HP become the new software giant.

President and ceo, Hewlet Packard Meg Whitman, commenting on the deal, said that the experience of Autonomy in the development of search engines for unstructured data (telephone contacts, messages in the "твиттерах" and e-mail messages) should help the company to go along the path of fundamental and unexpected reforms.
