Autonomy’s Mike Lynch made some comments about the exact degree of the integration with Hewlett-Packard during the Bloomberg Enterprise Technology Summit in London. He stressed that his company’s “high-speed culture” needs to remain the way it is.  The British unstructured data analytics software maker merged with HP after a $10.3 billion acquisition initiated by former CEO Leo Apotheker, and it seems that the current chief agrees with Lynch’s point.

“Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman, who supported the Autonomy purchase, has compared the parent company to a “mother tiger” not rolling on its cub, Lynch said. She told her executives “not to smother” Autonomy, Lynch said in an interview at the same conference.”

Lynch, who founded Autonomy and served as its chief executive officer, is one of the people who’s confident his company will serve an instrumental role in Hewlett-Packard’s future. This opinion is not his alone at HP, and it looks like the same applies to the idea of keeping Autonomy fairly independent.

Regardless as to how Whiteman plans to approach the differences in policy between corporate and Autonomy, one thing is for certain – its analytics portfolio will be fully integrated into HP’s. That process is already underway.

SiliconAngle.tv covered Lynch’s keynote at HP Discover where the first products of the acquisition were unveiled. The Autonomy Intelligence Operating Layer (IDOL) unstructured analytics platform has been coupled with technology from Vertica to create a hybrid offering. IDOL 10 brings together Vertica’s database and Autonomy’s software.

HP paid a 73 percent premium for Autonomy, and while Michael and Larry Ellison in particular may be criticizing the deal, there’s a lot at stake for Hewlett-Packard to get back on the horse with an analytics move.  Autonomy will be the company’s biggest acquisition for a while, and there’s a lot pressure to maximize the return on this $10 billion investment after a couple of blunders under the previous two CEOs.
