Elsevier Upgrades illumin8, Enhancing Access to Critical Information at the Front End of Innovation
NEW YORK July 27, 2011
Web-based research tool provides innovative new features for helping researchers explore new technologies, product applications and markets
fuzzy front-end
illumin8 supports an organization’s innovation platform by helping identify new technologies and applications for product development, supporting risk assessment of entering new market space, uncovering competitor activity and helping identify potential new partners or suppliers. Unlike regular search platforms, illumin8 is able to easily identify and show relationships between concepts and entities such as technologies, organizations, products, and scientific approaches-which is often buried in document text and could take many hours or weeks to capture and assess.
This latest upgrade allows R&D and innovation professionals to quickly access high quality information, uniquely formatting it to their requirements:
- Explore
- Evaluate –
- Compare –
- Report –
illumin8 has become a vital part of the R&D process for those on the cutting edge of innovation. The introduction of these four new features will help further enable users to quickly discover and share new information at the front end, which in turn informs and speeds up product and partnering decisions.
