First Trace Releases Service Pack 2 for Kinnosa EDM
 PHOENIX,
AZ, Jan 23, 2008 - First Trace, Inc. announced today the highly anticipated
release of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Enterprise Document Management, powered
by Kinnosa. This release contains numerous system enhancements and fixes for
expanded solution performance. SP2 includes seamless integration and support
for AutoCAD 2008 and SolidWorks 2008, providing comprehensive document
management and process management capabilities with these complex CAD tools.
Advanced Windows Extension Service permits Enterprise Document Management
features and functionality to incorporate into users Windows Desktop and
Microsoft Office programs as well as OpenOffice. File search functionality
has also been enriched to improve the user experience.
The SP2 release is the result of months of software testing and
refinements by First Trace developers to make user-identified product
improvements and add many new features to Enterprise Document management,
powered by Kinnosa. This SP2 release further advances First Trace's goal of
providing visibility of all customers' business documents and data from the
very first trace to the final use and retirement. Kinnosa customers can
easily install this new service pack to upgrade from previous software
versions.
“First Trace’s mission is to innovate open solutions built on industry
standards that are easy to use, upgrade and deploy enterprise-wide for our
global customer base,” says Terry Simpson, CEO of First Trace. “The SP2
release is a direct response to our customers’ expressed needs for an
affordable, integral and easy to implement content management solution that
will work with their Microsoft Office and OpenOffice programs and critical
CAD applications.”
Service Pack 2 Includes Upgrades to Maximize Operational Efficiency
Enterprise Document Management, powered by Kinnosa, is a traceable,
transparent, and distributed application built upon open standards, with an
open data repository. Kinnosa organizes data into a “virtual repository”
rather than a centralized data vault, allowing users to manage and search
information scattered across a distributed environment as if it was stored
locally. The updates and enhancements included in SP2 focus on four core
components designed to increase customer’s design efficiency,
return-on-investment and ultimate satisfaction:
Support for AutoCAD 2008 and SolidWorks 2008
Enterprise Document Management, powered by Kinnosa, was developed to
provide critical document management capabilities to engineers utilizing
complex CAD tools like AutoCAD & SolidWorks. With the release of SP2,
Enterprise Document Management features and functionality can integrate with
the most current versions of these widely used CAD applications so that
essential document management operations can be performed directly in the
AutoCAD 2008 and SolidWorks 2008 applications. This level of integration
permits the designer to work in a familiar CAD environment and minimizes
training requirements.
Windows Extension Service
SP2 includes Windows Extension Service allowing Enterprise Document
Management to connect to and operate on the Windows desktop. Advanced
document management features provided by Kinnosa can be utilized from
Windows Explorer for ease-of-use by even the most novice employees.
Employees outside of the engineering department can now take advantage of
automated document management using familiar desktop tools without extensive
training.
Improved File Search Capabilities and Performance
File searches must be extremely efficient with evolved document
management solutions to meet the needs of both technical and novice users.
So SP2 includes improvements to optimize the search capabilities with
Enterprise Document Management. Users can now easily execute simple and very
advanced wild card searches across distributed workspaces for a rapid
response. Search result windows can display additional document properties
such as version number, author, document status, related parts, modification
history and any other pre-defined or custom properties the user selects to
make identification quick and easy.
Document Loading Utility Added
Moving files from one repository, directory, or folder to another can be
an extremely time consuming and labor intensive process during new product
roll outs. A document loading utility has been included in SP2 to allow
Kinnosa to smoothly transition large volumes of data from existing systems,
like eChange and PDMWorks, into Kinnosa, helping to speed implementation
while reducing installation and deployment costs.
Enterprise Document Management, powered by Kinnosa, SP2 is immediately
available from First Trace and authorized First Trace resellers.
