First Trace Releases Korrigo for the Enterprise

By DE Editors

First Trace, Inc. (Phoenix, AZ) released Korrigo, a standards-based engineering document management product that is the newest addition to the KinnosaONE suite of service-oriented architecture (SOA) solutions. Built on open standards that help unify engineering with the greater corporate document management strategy, KinnosaONE is designed to bridge the requirements gap between engineering and the balance of the enterprise.

Korrigo was built for engineering enterprises with a strong CAD focus that need to prepare engineering data for eventual inclusion in an enterprise strategy. It addresses the complex needs of manufacturing and engineering departments without forcing IT to revamp their existing infrastructure or networks.

Korrigo provides document version control, property management, relationship management, workspace management, file backup, restore, and archiving. It separates itself from other solutions by using a virtual data repository that allows users to easily manage distributed data repositories, control life cycle states, conduct full content searches, and integrate with enterprise authentication and security systems.

Application add-ins place Korrigo functionality directly into the interface of CAD tools from Autodesk, SolidWorks, and Bentley Systems so engineering users can manage documents directly from within the CAD application. The addition of the Windows Extension Service embeds Korrigo functionality into Windows File Explorer and Microsoft Office programs. Employees can use the familiar Windows File Explorer interface and file tree to access Korrigo capabilities, manage distributed data repositories, and collaborate in real time.

Korrigo serves as a stepping stone for engineering departments that need to begin moving toward a corporate-oriented document environment. Korrigo uses Open Platform Services and a JCR repository built on industry standards for storing files. It will not lock engineering documents into a proprietary data vault.
