Computer Weekly - 3 July 2012: The death of a great British software company?
sponsored by ComputerWeekly.com
ABSTRACT:
In this week’s Computer Weekly, we look at the future for Autonomy - the great British software firm that was acquired for £7bn by HP nearly a year ago - following founder Mike Lynch's shock departure. We examine the emerging best practice in software testing and growing adoption of the TMMi methodology. We go behind the scenes of the Marussia Formula 1 team to see how high-performance computing supports their bid for racing success. And the final part of our buyer's guide to desktop virtualisation looks at the implications of consumerisation and bring your own device (BYOD) schemes. Read the issue now.
One year after HP’s acquisition, what does the future hold for Autonomy?
Moves to subsume Autonomy into HP have lent the company’s name an ever-increasing irony, following the departure of founder Mike Lynch and the integration of its key tools as add-ons to HP’s much broader range of products. So, nearly one year on from HP’s £7bn acquisition, what does the future hold for Autonomy?

Opinion: Delivering social change through crowdsourcing
Free and open source tools such as CrowdMap and Open Street Map now mean that anyone can quickly create an online map to visualise the issue they most care about and use it to build a compelling case for action, writes Tony Roberts, founder of IT for development charity Computer Aid.
