Engineering Workbench
Expedite technical research and innovation with an advanced engineering intelligence solution.
Engineers access an average of 13 different data sources - each with their own entry point/login - to get the information they need to complete projects. It's no wonder that engineers spend up to 40% of their time searching for information. To stay competitive, engineers must not only find the right information fast, they must also ask the right questions of the data.
Engineering Workbench addresses this "information overload" challenge with a single intuitive interface that uses advanced knowledge discovery technologies to surface answers from a curated universe of technical knowledge. This includes standards, codes, specifications, applied technical reference, engineering periodicals, patents and patent applications, and enterprise knowledge sources.
Subscribe to Engineering Workbench today to:
- Solve problems faster and deliver better products
- Increase process efficiencies
- Mitigate design and compliance risk
- Achieve greater growth and profitability
