Product intelligence solution strengthens its search

Centric Software's InSight 6.0 offers a high degree of built-in intelligence for recognition of product and technical content. InSight discovers and classifies results based on common product attributes from CAD, product life-cycle management, product data management, and ERP systems; as well as PDFs and email. Duplicate results are immediately recognized, with results categorized against data types. Users also can navigate through unindexed document relationships. To manage results, they can opt to share documents, or organize them in a project folder for cross-team review via the Internet.

Says Ray Kurland, president of Clifton, N.J.-based TechiCom, "Only a portion of product engineering data resides under the control of the engineering department. Making available such 'hidden' documents should save countless hours searching for the right documents to complete a design, tool a machine, replace a part, or address a quality issue."
