Accuris launches Accuris Engineering Intelligence, taking a bold leap forward by blending the reliability of Engineering Workbench with cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies to transform how engineering teams navigate complexities, streamline workflows, and make informed decisions throughout the product lifecycle.
Accuris, recognized as the go-to engineering intelligence platform for the most innovative companies worldwide, has launched a next-generation offering.
Integrating the well-established standards of the Engineering Workbench with purpose-built artificial intelligence (AI) functionalities, Accuris Engineering Intelligence enables teams in engineering, quality, and compliance to move beyond simply locating authoritative information.
With this advanced tool, they can gain profound insights into changes, rigorously trace requirements, and govern pivotal decisions throughout every phase of the product lifecycle.
Accuris Engineering Intelligence represents a groundbreaking evolution in engineering solutions, merging the established reliability of the Engineering Workbench with cutting-edge AI capabilities.
The sophisticated platform elevates engineering processes by introducing essential features that significantly improve operational efficiency.
Notable among these features are requirements traceability, which ensures that every need is tracked throughout the development process; change intelligence, which allows teams to understand the implications of modifications in real time; and digital thread workflows that create seamless communication and continuity across all stages of the product lifecycle.
Together, these components foster a unified, collaborative environment that streamlines project management and enables seamless communication and teamwork. By driving transparency and insight, Accuris Engineering Intelligence not only modernizes engineering practices but also propels teams toward achieving operational excellence.
ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS
“Engineering Intelligence is the next step in the portfolio strategy we have been building across Accuris, turning authoritative technical content into decision intelligence customers can use across the engineering lifecycle,” informs Claude Pumilia, CEO and Chairman, Accuris. “Alongside Supply Chain Intelligence, it demonstrates how we are connecting engineering and supply chain workflows around a common promise: trusted data, purpose-built AI, and answers that are traceable to the source. We are not simply helping customers find information faster; we are helping them make critical decisions with greater confidence.”
The offering has been meticulously crafted to empower organizations to choose an Engineering Intelligence level that aligns perfectly with their specific business objectives.
Indeed, flexibility supports a range of initiatives: from modernizing access to existing standards and frameworks, to leveraging AI-driven change analysis for deeper insights, and even enhancing the integration between requirements and governance throughout the organization.
With these diverse options, businesses can tailor their approach to meet their evolving needs and drive more effective outcomes.
A FLEXIBLE FRAMEWORK
The newly launched Base, Pro, and Enterprise editions offer organizations a variety of entry points and a well-defined pathway for enhancing capabilities as their needs evolve.
Base – This edition lays the groundwork with the trusted Engineering Workbench foundation, ensuring users have quick and dependable access to Accuris’ extensive library containing 3M+ standards. It features built-in tools such as AI-generated summaries, annotation capabilities, Smart Compare functionality, comprehensive search features, and mobile access, all designed to facilitate a seamless user experience.
Pro – Tailored for teams seeking to convert standards information into actionable insights, the Pro edition enhances collaboration and efficiency. It introduces advanced features like Smart Search, which enables users to locate relevant information quickly, and requirements traceability for enabled content that tracks changes throughout the lifecycle. Additionally, it includes Change Impact Analysis, a critical tool that helps prevent unexpected issues caused by revisions, ensuring that teams remain proactive in their approach to project management.
Enterprise – Designed to integrate the entire engineering digital thread, the Enterprise edition connects industry standards with product delivery on an organization-wide scale. It introduces comprehensive requirements management, allowing for more effective oversight of both internal and customer-generated content. It also includes gap analysis capabilities to identify disparities and governance tools that support large-scale oversight and compliance management.
EMPOWERING ADAPTABILITY
Organizations can add specific capabilities or upgrade to higher tiers of all three editions as their business needs evolve, customizing their approach and strategically aligning investments with the most critical workflows, risks, and decision-making processes.
This adaptability ensures that teams are equipped to meet the challenges of a dynamic engineering environment.
“Access to standards is powerful on its own, and it becomes transformative when teams can also see what changed, what it affects, and what to do next. Engineering Intelligence creates a clear path from trusted access to traceability, change intelligence, and a connected digital thread. Teams can add capability as their programs grow without losing continuity, control, or confidence in the source,” outlines Duane Newman, Chief Product Officer, Accuris.
The evolution of this approach is firmly rooted in quantifiable benefits for customers. According to a Total Economic Impact study conducted by Forrester, at the request of Accuris, organizations that implement Accuris Engineering Intelligence experience an impressive return on investment of 305 percent over three years.
Remarkable outcomes translate to a net present value of $13.35 million, highlighting the significant financial advantages and value these organizations can achieve through the adoption of this innovative technology.
ENHANCING ENGINEERING EFFICIENCY
Customers using the thread platform have experienced a remarkable improvement in their ability to identify affected requirements when a standard changes, reporting that they complete the crucial task 90 percent faster than before, transforming what was once a lengthy process taking weeks into a few hours.
For leaders operating in engineering, technology, and quality assurance within highly regulated and mission-critical industries, this advancement translates to a more streamlined approach to aligning their investments with the most significant projects.
Encompassing several critical areas, it simplifies the search for authoritative content, enables proactive anticipation of the impacts resulting from changes, ensures consistent traceability throughout activities, and upholds compliance across various programs.
Moreover, a well-defined capability framework lays out the available options transparently, allowing teams to select the most suitable solutions for their current challenges while also providing the flexibility to expand their engineering intelligence to meet future demands as they evolve.
The Engineering Intelligence Base, Pro, and Enterprise offerings are now available for both new customers and those seeking upgrades, effective immediately. Existing customers will retain their current terms without any changes. Detailed information regarding full capabilities and add-ons can be found at accuristech.com/pricing-ei.
