November 29, 2007 – Phoenix, AZ – First Trace, Inc. announced today it will add support for Bentley System´s Microstation CAD application. First Trace has begun development on an innovative add-in to provide Microstation users with comprehensive engineering document and data management capabilities provided by First Trace´s Enterprise Document Management solution, powered by Kinnosa.

This add-in will allow Microstation users to automate document management, design change tracking, task and process management, as well as provide unified data management to distributed enterprises. The integrated functionality will provide Microstation users with greater flexibility, superior security and concurrent engineering capabilities for distributed enterprises. First Trace is part of an extended network of independent solution providers developing applications to integrate and operate with Microstation, AutoCAD, SolidWorks and other complex CAD tools.

"Microstation users will now have access to all the benefits provided by the next generation of content management solutions that the Kinnosa Enterprise System brings to the industry," said Brian Williamson, Product Manager for Kinnosa and First Trace. "Microstation documents scattered across a distributed enterprise can now be easily managed, accessed, and modified in a single environment, without changing how users work."

Kinnosa represents the next step in the evolution of document and process management solutions with its highly adaptable capabilities that allows businesses to operate more dynamically. As an enterprise changes, Kinnosa solutions can be quickly modified to meet the new business needs. This agility is indispensable in making your software solutions adapt to meet changing needs. Kinnosa delivers value by reducing the time, costs and level of effort required to integrate into an existing IT environment or business network.

The development of a new add-in will allow Microstation users to utilize all the features and functionalities of Enterprise Document Management, powered by Kinnosa, right from the Microstation interface. Document management efforts that once posed a profound burden on engineering departments can now be automated on the backend for effortless management, including compliance with regulatory requirements and CAD standards. Many Microstation users are familiar with the delays caused by excessive amounts of time it takes to make the same corrective procedures on numerous drawings. Kinnosa can be easily configured to automate and streamline drawing changes across all related documents, improving overall efficiency of the entire design process.

Microstation users often utilize multiple CAD tools when working on projects. This mixed environment creates an immense problem for engineers attempting to incorporate designs created with these competing CAD tools. First Trace´s development of a Microstation add-in will eliminate this productivity roadblock by allowing Kinnosa to manage disparate file types and integrate them into a cohesive project.

Additional Kinnosa solutions (such as Kinnosa Workflow and Distributed Change Management, powered by Kinnosa) can be combined with Enterprise Document Management to streamline management of the entire design process from initial creation to project completion without interrupting business operations.
