With the Internet search engines being able to index and deliver search queries within seconds from anywhere in the world, a similar concept can be applied to the Intranet or corporate networks. Corporate networks are in essence smaller Internets - machines linked together by addresses. In addition, these applications are proprietary and operating system specific. Therefore, adapting the simple concept of the Internet search engine to the Intranet has not advanced considerably. At issue is the time required to publish volumes of data from a myriad of applications, while maintaining the integrity of the data.
Implementation requires approximately one week.
Once implementation is complete and all the information has been indexed, information access is immediate to any and all users within the Intranet. By enabling information access throughout a corporation, the product acts like an information reservoir, enabling rapid information access corporate-wide, and increasing the degree of information access. For instance, it allows the user to search for the title block information of a drawing as well as the text on the drawing. It also enables product structure dependency viewing, allowing component relationship access. In addition to increasing the degree of access, the product's innovative design is removing many implementation obstacles.
