June '05 Readers' Choice Award: Goldfire Innovator 2.0

By DE Editors

Invention Machine Corp. (Boston, MA) has released Goldfire Innovator 2.0, the latest version of its integrated environment to bring a structured process to inventive problem solving. It provides engineers, researchers, and technical personnel with easy-to-use problem definition and analysis capabilities, enabling users to systematically tackle engineering problems across a product’s lifecycle, thus reducing the delivery time for new product innovations.

Goldfire Innovator 2.0’s new Collaboration Repository enables greater coordination and communication among team members via centralized access to project files, reports, and workflows. It supports hierarchical device modeling, enabling users to analyze and represent complex systems and to delegate design problems across a team. Goldfire Innovator 2.0 lets users browse the full content of corporate and personal knowledge bases by categories, and is said to further accelerate productivity and “time-to-ideation” by enabling automatic summarization of documents in personal knowledge bases.
