At an event held in Mumbai today, Tata Technologies iKS, the global leader in engineering knowledge transformation technology, announced the worldwide launch in India of its major version release of its revolutionary product, 'igetit'.
The new version of igetit, which is the complete online resource for engineers, features a revolutionary change in packaging, pricing, and positioning and is uniquely powered by Google technology.
The company said that igetit is the most innovative web application available today, created specifically for the world's 15 million design engineering professionals helping them to acquire, distribute, verify, and certify 'Engineering Knowledge' (best practices and design process methodology).
The new igetit provides 100,000 hours of comprehensive PLM learning content while effectively removing critical barriers to knowledge transformation viz. price, hardware, and installation.
Speaking on the occasion, Kevin Noe, President, Tata Technologies iKS, said, "The igetit web application will make it possible for every engineer on the planet to have access to relevant information and knowledge that will help them become better at design innovation and knowledge reuse, at a nominal cost."
Commenting on igetit, David Fedler, Vice President, Tata Technologies iKS, explained, "Figures indicate that engineers increasingly are seeking answers from one another through various web technologies such as Instant Messaging, Forums, and Blogs. As a result, the development objective of igetit was to go above and beyond traditional online learning, and create a web application that offers a specialized social networking site for engineers, adding even more value."
"And the latest release of igetit seamlessly integrates social features with learning mechanisms to help engineers connect to other engineers and enables the site to be their main source of information," added Fedler.
According to the company, igetit has incorporated some of the best technology available in the world today in order to provide a rich user experience. It now features integrated search query powered by Google Search Appliance.
Elaborating on this, Noe, said, "We are the first company in the world to offer the Google Search Appliance as a productivity tool for design engineering professionals. Now there is no limit to what engineers can search for and find."
Meanwhile, igetit has broken the price barrier with three extremely affordable options. Engineers can subscribe annually as an 'igetit Engineer', which will be free for all. And for greater value, they can sign up for 'igetit Professional' account, which will cost $25 (Rs 1,105 approx), or 'igetit Team' account costing $95 (Rs 4,200 approx). All subscriptions and account upgrades are available through online transactions.
Besides, the new igetit will be showcased in front of the best engineering minds during the IIT Techfest 2007, to be held between January 26 and January 28 this year in Mumbai
