  • Manage global collaboration of engineers - Whether they're working from company headquarters or a remote station, your engineers can quickly access product documentation, engineering specifications, launch plans and millions of other documents from all over the world. And our "expert search" feature lets your employees instantly find an expert within the company on any given topic.

  • Connect the value chain - Your employees, suppliers, partners, distributors and customers will all be able to search and find relevant information, with security features to ensure that any given user's results only include information that he or she is authorized to view.
