Product Sight Releases FindView V4.0 Enterprise Search Engine for Product Lifecycle Content
Technology Gives Manufacturers Shortcut to Sharing Product Data Across Extended Operations
Bellevue, WA - November 7, 2003: Product Sight Corporation, an innovator of practical solutions for the real world product lifecycle today released Version 4.0 of its FindView technology. FindView is a proven Enterprise Search Engine that fills a gap in Product Lifecycle Management so that companies can keep up with rapidly changing business operations.
During the product lifecycle, people in different manufacturing departments and locations rely on a variety of technical product data. FindView provides the content level tools to consistently access this data regardless of the authoring platform and geographical location. The technology quickly locates all relevant product data across the enterprise, held within a wide variety of information silos, and unifies it to appear as a single source of product data. FindView can index content from over 370 different file formats including the major CAD/CAM authoring applications, and search capabilities include full-text searches of Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, and CAD data, including attribute, product structure and dimension information within design files.
"Companies are making a rapid shift to globally distributed engineering and manufacturing operations. This is causing chaos in the organization and management of critical product data," stated Bruce Winegarden, CEO of Product Sight Corporation. "Our customers are finding the answer to bring order out of chaos that they need today. With this new release of FindView V4.0 their operations have instantaneous access to all the technical product data across the enterprise in a way that reduces confusion, builds confidence in the delivered quality and accelerates the release of manufactured products to market."
FindView V4.0 brings significant new business value from its previous version. In addition to the robust search, access, and view features, FindView v4.0 adds:
o Organize and Share - Organize the information discovered by FindView searches into projects and folders shared with other team members
o Multiple Result Actions: - including batch print function and comparison of documents to help highlight version changes
o Eliminate bulky e-mail attachments: - Send an e-mail message with a link to documents in the shared folder for streamlined collaboration
o More secure information: - Grant role-based permission for searching and viewing of documents within a controlled environment
o Distributed, Scalable Architecture - Enhanced scalability to leverage rapidly growing and changing operations and enterprises.
In addition, FindView V4.0 continues to offer a wealth of features including full-text searches of all documents, wildcard searching and cross-referencing of data, search for specific information in different fields of a drawing title block, with direct support for CAD content including SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Pro/ENGINEER, Autodesk Inventor, MicroStation and other major MCAD platforms. FindView is quickly implemented within an organization and user sites have found that people begin using the technology as regularly as email with just an hour of training. The technology easily unifies and accesses data content from existing applications as well as legacy systems, while avoiding expensive and disruptive enterprise integrations.
