Invention Machine Adds New Multi-Lingual and Risk Analysis Capabilities to Goldfire Innovator

BOSTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 7, 2008— Invention Machine, a leading provider of innovation software, today launched Goldfire Innovator 4.6 with new multi-lingual and hazard analysis capabilities to help companies further boost their product innovation process and competitive edge. Committed to driving sustainable innovation, Invention Machine continues to make its product more powerful and easier to use so companies can leverage the innovation software to design innovative and eco-friendly products consistently.

Goldfires new multi-lingual translation capabilities not only taps into Japanese, English, French and German engineering content, but brings back results in the language the question was asked. For example, a user looking to find alternative materials to design fuel cells, types the query in German. If the solution is captured in a Japanese document, the software will deliver the translated document summary in German. This capability helps users leverage relevant multi-lingual content and learn what companies and competitors are doing in different countries. Gaining access to multi-lingual content also expedites the collaboration and innovation processes as people will not have to translate irrelevant documents.

The flagship innovation software also offers new risk analysis platform and research functions that addresses Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). This function proactively focuses on physical, chemical and biological hazards and can help identify alternative materials and components that are eco-friendly and meets federal guidelines. This new risk analysis capability expands Invention Machines knowledge-enabled innovation platform for its customer-base, especially those in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries.

Our studies show that 62% of respondents are pursuing green initiatives for competitive advantage as a path to revenue growth and, over 40% of research and engineering organizations are pursuing design for green strategies and innovation solutions to create that next generation of ingenious environmentally friendly products, said Chad Jackson, director of Research and Service, Aberdeen Group. Invention Machines innovation software is one such technology that empowers users to deliver innovative and eco-friendly products that give them that competitive advantage.

Invention Machines innovation software helps enterprises innovate repeatedly, accelerating and sustaining product innovation. Its unique semantic technology helps translate ideas into commercialized products by generating and validating the right ideas the first time - whether it's creating a folding box spring, an engine for NASA or a new printer.
