          Institute's CRM system to provide subscribing members with personalized
          content based on their indicated settings and preferences
        - Optimizes the visitor experience to increase membership
          subscription and online sales of books, courses and events by automating
          the delivery and targeting of web content based on visitors' browsing
          history, behavior, geography, and demographic data
        - Provides efficiency in operations and consistency in brand
          image, by offering CIH marketers a single, scalable repository for
          managing and reusing web assets

'At the Chartered Institute of Housing, we pride ourselves in being the credible voice of the entire housing sector, continuously advancing new thinking and practices, and providing the tools and knowledge our members need to drive up the standards and skills within housing organizations,' said Mary James, Head of IT at the Chartered Institute of Housing. 'Powering our website - the chief channel of communication with our members - gives Autonomy an integral role in this strategy.'

'Autonomy's technology has revolutionized our approach to managing our website and communicating with our members,' elaborated James. 'It provides a closed-loop approach for targeting the users of our site by intelligently drawing value from our CRM system in order to provide an optimal online experience. We can now not only deliver online content quickly and efficiently, but we can also be confident that members are better informed and more engaged.'

'Autonomy's proven WCM technology powers over 20,000 global websites,' said James Murray, VP Autonomy Promote solutions EMEA. 'Our unique meaning-based capabilities help organizations turn any website into a modern community portal containing engaging, targeted content, thereby significantly improving the user experience and boosting operational efficiency through the reuse of existing assets. At a time of ever-increasing pressure on bottom lines and rising public expectations, Autonomy offers the industry's most comprehensive solution for online strategy.'
