June 28, 2007 – Phoenix, AZ – The rapid escalation of unstructured data is one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today. The growing quantities of unorganized documents within corporations are a major driver of inefficiency, especially in the design engineering industry. To address this growing problem, First Trace has developed a traceable and transparent document management and data unification solution that enables collaboration across an extended enterprise: Kinnosa Enterprise Document Management (EDM). This revolutionary new content management solution provides users with the ability to trace a document from initial creation to project completion using existing applications and systems, without interrupting business operations.

The software development of Kinnosa EDM is now complete and First Trace plans to make a general release of the product available to the CAD community on July 11, 2007.

"The power behind Kinnosa EDM exists in its ability to provide complete traceability," says Terry Simpson, First Trace president and CEO. Simpson continues, "The opportunity for businesses is in the ability of Kinnosa EDM to use legacy and disparate data systems currently in use while providing a transparent packaging of document management capabilities housed in a Windows Explorer-type environment."

Kinnosa EDM brings a comprehensive approach to content management. Documents distributed across an enterprise can be managed in a single environment without changing how users work. Transparency on the desktop eliminates user training and increases user adoption.

Kinnosa EDM provides essential document management capabilities such as metadata management, version control, user and workgroup management, and distributed access to data across multiple locations. Additionally, Kinnosa EDM integrates flawlessly with popular CAD design tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor as well as Microsoft Office 2007.

As the evolution of document management, Kinnosa EDM provides users increased security by creating dynamic rules for each asset or asset class in order to control accessibility and user rights. This highly robust system also allows businesses to manage processes and personal tasks, as well as automate control and management of digital assets such as documents, images, drawings, blueprints and more.

While Kinnosa EDM is the latest advancement in document management, it goes even further in its revolutionary ability to meet demands of workflow by implementing cross-functional processes for content creation, editing, approving, quality control, distribution and archiving. Kinnosa EDM is a platform of open services and Web 2.0 applications bundled together into Solution Packs that are designed to address specific customer needs and problems.

Additionally, First Trace, Inc. offers Kinnosa EDM at prices and packages that meet the size and scale of any enterprise while utilizing and leveraging existing system investments. Kinnosa EDM can be deployed out-of-box or tailored to meet your specific business needs. Rapid and economical deployment delivers an immediate, measurable return on your investment.

From the creation of each new document and use of existing data, Kinnosa EDM provides visibility of all your businesses data from the very first trace to the final use and retirement.
