Q.KNOW INTRODUCES THE
MOST DRAMATIC DESKTOP INNOVATION
SINCE THE GRAPHIC INTERFACE
REPLACED THE "GREEN SCREEN"
– Information-Centric Interface Simplifies
How Users Interact with Their Computers –
NEW YORK– October 11, 2005 – Q.Know Technologies Inc., a global provider of advanced information management software, today announced the launch of Q.Know Version 2.0 which includes its revolutionary information-centric interface. Q.Know’s “Information Desktop” provides users with a single interface to manage all electronic information, both structured and unstructured, company-wide. This includes all file types in existence, such as e-mail, PDFs, Word documents, presentations, forms, photos, spreadsheets, scanned files, music, etc. The Information Desktop also brings users complete visibility and 24/7 accessibility to all electronic information across the enterprise.
By changing the way users save information – shifting from a location-centric platform to an information-centric framework – Q.Know has effectively eliminated forced application-dependence, solving one of today’s most significant information management challenges. For the first time, users are presented with a straightforward, simplistic view of all their business information on their desktop, which is now organized by topic (i.e. project, activity, client, transaction). Unlike current user desktops that require information to be segmented based on the application in which it resides, Q.Know’s Information Desktop allows users to automatically file and organize based on content and context. This means that users’ no longer have to move from application-specific file stores to gather all electronic information related to a particular topic, person, product, activity, etc.
"Q.Know allows us to record and organize all related electronic information that is generated during our complex business transactions,” stated Dr. Francis Chiu, System Manager, Orbis Investment Management Limited. "By managing all electronic information in a simplified and shared manner, Q.Know is the next generation information management system, surpassing the capabilities of existing content management applications. The combination of the familiar interface and a flexible, intuitive ‘file cabinet’ like structure delivers tremendous value."
Negating the need for antiquated folder structures, Q.Know’s intelligent keyword tagging mechanism automatically identifies all information according to its context. The Information Desktop offers a central repository and workspace where users organize their electronic documentation for complete visibility and uncomplicated collaboration. Back up and storage requirements are dramatically reduced as redundant versions and overloaded e-mail servers are no longer the norm.
"While the idea of tagging information with logical attributes is not new, a simple user interface designed especially for ease-of-use and user adoptability has not been forthcoming – specifically, as it relates to all types of electronic information," said Joe Geaney, co-founder and vice president, Q.Know Technologies, Inc.
Until now, businesses have attempted to identify software solutions by cobbling together “suites” of products, as such document management, contact management, e-mail, project-related management tools, etc. The net result has typically been redundant, isolated information silos and folder structures, each providing limited functionality to manage the same information. Far beyond the realm of desktop search or other partial solutions for filing and finding, Q.Know has solved the problem of organizing electronic information, bringing all needed software functionality into one, logical user-friendly view.
As the only comprehensive information-centric solution, Q.Know Version 2.0 combines the capabilities of the following information management products, including:
- Collaboration and file sharing
- Electronic document management (structured data and unstructured information)
- E-mail and communications management
- Search and retrieval
Q.Know Technologies, Inc. develops software that solves the most challenging problem in business computing – the ability to automatically and accurately file, retrieve, manage and share unstructured electronic information. The result is instant access to enterprise-wide information, real-time visibility to all electronic information, enhanced regulatory compliance and improved customer satisfaction. Q.Know works seamlessly across existing applications, such as Microsoft Outlook® and Office®, and is quickly implemented and easily learned. For more information, please visit www.qknow.com.
