Bamboo Solutions, a division of VIDAR Systems Corporation, announced two additions to its new software product, Info.trak, the premier document control software for ISO process management. The two new additions, Info.offline Briefcase and complete support for AutoCAD 2000 and R14 drawings with XREFs and embedded images, allow manufacturers and engineers tremendous flexibility and manageability. The Info.offline Briefcase allows users to check-out sets of controlled documents for use with other applications (for example, AutoCAD) without the overhead of a concurrent Info.trak session, while maintaining document integrity and version control. Info.trak also features Info.flex, a database profiling system that allows the configuration of each department's database "profile" to reflect data properties that are unique and pertinent to that department's data. The users can work with the data the way they want to, using familiar terms and references. And because searches can be performed only on the department's data sets, they are remarkably fast. "What Info.trak accomplishes is to give the manufacturer or engineer new and improved tools to control and totally integrate the day-to-day functions that help our customers manage their business," said Gunder Lilius, president and CEO of VIDAR. "In addition, Info.trak's unique Info.push feature automatically informs ('pushes' information out to) those who need to know. Info.push is fully integrated, as are Info.offline Briefcase, Info.flex, and the support for AutoCAD 2000 and R14 compound documents," Mr. Lilius stated.
