Engineers and scientists do not work in a vacuum as they design and develop new products. They collaborate and work with a team, leveraging each other’s expertise and skills to continually improve the idea and design. Goldfire supports this collaborative team approach, allowing teams of people to work together on projects and share ideas.
Goldfire further shortens time to solution by allowing innovators to easily seek input and assistance from experts within the organization. Users can post questions and receive and review responses from anywhere within the application, providing complete context sensitivity and eliminating the need to leave the innovation task or process to request collaborative help.
Questions can be posed to specific audiences, such as a project team or defined email group, or to subject-matter experts within the organization.
Subject matter experts are automatically identified by Goldfire using semantic processing capabilities on personal and corporate content. Expert profiles can be augmented manually by the experts themselves or by system administrators. Multiple experts can comment on a question and all responses are indexed by Goldfire, expanding the scope of knowledge available for future innovation and problem solving.
