Invention Machine Goldfire uniquely supports the single most pervasive innovation task: research.
Goldfire’s patented semantic technology delivers the power of deep semantic processing with the simplicity of keyword search, providing precise concepts, ideas and answers for a wide range of innovation activities.
Goldfire becomes a “virtual subject matter expert” allowing innovators to leverage knowledge from inside and outside the organization – across email and personal documents, shared drives, enterprise applications, worldwide patent literature, the ‘Deep Web’ and Invention Machine’s proprietary technical content.
Goldfire connects to a wide range of information sources, and transforms the underlying data into actionable intelligence. Goldfire becomes a “virtual subject matter expert” by surfacing concepts from hundreds of document types, numerous enterprise applications, technical and deep web sites, and worldwide patent literature. Goldfire augments brainstorming and ideation sessions by bringing in the collective experience and ideas of relevant subject matter experts from within and outside the enterprise. Additionally, Goldfire’s proprietary libraries of scientific effects, inventive principles and system modification patterns guide users in creative problem solving to conceive breakthrough strategies for resolving design constraints and anticipating the ways that systems and functions may evolve.
Advanced research tools within Goldfire make it easy to tap into this knowledge, transforming it into actionable intelligence to fuel innovation activities. The research capabilities are embedded within the various innovation activity workflows, infusing relevant insights and ideas directly into the innovation activities. Ideas can be quickly validated and prioritized, further speeding time to optimal solution and reducing time and cost spent pursuing sub-optimal solutions.
