New Enterprise Search Solution for SharePoint Specializes In Engineering and Imaging Documents
Elmo Solutions, the leader in extraction and processing of CAD and engineering metadata, announces the official launch of Agni Enterprise Search Portal 2009 for SharePoint.
This unique Knowledge Management solution for SharePoint is a unique and affordable enterprise search solution designed to meet the distinct needs of CAD and Engineering users and senior managers. It is designed to enhance efficiency and productivity by dramatically reducing the time spent by knowledge workers looking for CAD and imaging documents through highly accurate search results. It currently offers support for a wide range of document formats, including:
  • AutoCAD (including vertical “flavors” of AutoCAD, such as AutoCAD Mechanical, Mechanical Desktop, AutoCAD Architectural, AutoCAD Electrical, Civil 3D, etc.)
  • Dassault Systemes SolidWorks
  • Autodesk Inventor
  • JPEG
  • TIFF
  • GIF
  • PNG
  • WMF
This unique software solution is available as a free, fully functional, 30-day trial license for download from the Elmo Website.
In a survey, 40% of corporate users reported that they cannot find the information they need to do their jobs on their intranets. That realization largely inspired the development of Agni Enterprise Search Portal for SharePoint.
Agni Enterprise Search Portal 2009 for SharePoint was designed specifically to maximize document usability and reusability.  It is rich with features such as the ability to display document thumbnails on the results pages, and the Elmo Solutions Super Ifilter for CAD and imaging, which enables indexing of supported document formats.  The Super Ifilter will allow keyword extraction not only by the Agni Portal, but by any application running on the same server that uses Windows’ Ifilters, such as Windows Indexing and Windows Search Services, thus making possible indexing of keywords of supported CAD and imaging documents for retrieval by Windows Explorer.
Established in 1979, Elmo Solutions is a leader in the creation, management and publishing of CAD and engineering documents, as well as ERP-CAD data integration, with users in over 50 countries.  Elmo Solutions is Microsoft Certified Gold Partner, a SolidWorks Solution Partner and an Autodesk Authorized Developer.  Its Elmo Enterprise Search 2005 solution has been honored by the 2005 Control Engineering Editors’ Choice Award.
