Product Sight Search Technology Featured in BusinessWeek
Product Sight Corporation announced that the business need for its specialized search technology is featured in the March 7, 2005, BusinessWeek Special Technology Software Supplement. This article also references an online technology report with a more in-depth explanation of the demands for Search Powered PLM, available at http://www.technology-reports.com/report.asp?id=409 .
Search Powered PLM lets engineering and manufacturing companies leverage existing product data content to solve immediate, high value business issues necessary to their strategic success. Corporations are now discovering the value of specialized search engine technology that understands the product data content that drives their business.
The Internet has shown the effectiveness of search engines, such as Google®, in finding relevant web pages. A search powered approach has proven to be the fastest and most cost effective way to unify multiple sources of product data. Because the search engine works with existing data and information systems and automatically scans the corporate network inside the firewall, companies can deploy rapidly and see business results right away.
"It is great to see companies like Product Sight getting into the PLM game," said Amy Rowell, Industry Analyst, Cyon Research, in a recent CADwire.net commentary. "If PLM means that we are going to attempt to make all forms of product information available throughout the lifecycle of a product, it will become increasingly important to be able to sort through all of this information to find what we're looking for."
"Product Sight Search Powered PLM provides immediate productivity improvements because people can access and act on the knowledge buried in existing product data content without reformatting or moving any data," said Bruce Winegarden, president and CEO of Product Sight. "Being featured in a highly respected publication such as BusinessWeek validates the business necessity of Search Powered PLM."
The Search Powered PLM approach described in the special supplement complements existing data management systems for engineering or quality documents and can accelerate ROI from a broader product lifecycle management strategy. The BusinessWeek Special Technology Software Supplement is a special advertising section.
