Survey Shows Single, Searchable Source for Validated Technical Data-Especially Materials Data, Codes & Standards and Best Practices-Top Design Engineers' Wish List
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 06/25/12 -- For engineers it is increasingly difficult to quickly find accurate and trustworthy technical information, a recent survey finds. Navigating multiple sources of information, finding best practices, securing approvals and permissions, along with the difficulty in validating the accuracy of the information, topped the list of frustrations of engineers polled in the "Engineering Tools and Information Spring 2012 Survey" conducted by The Parthenon Group and sponsored by .
Parthenon Group surveyed more than 600 engineers working in the Aerospace & Defense and Engineering Design and Construction industries about their use of technology, their information needs as well as their satisfaction with various providers of engineering information and tools including Knovel.
The survey identified a number of challenges that engineers face as they aim to improve how they find and interact with critical data. Findings include:
"Our research indicates that the lost productivity associated with assembling and validating technical information from multiple sources is a major pain point for engineers," said Terry Bradshaw, Senior Principal at The Parthenon Group. "This is good news for Knovel, whose users regard it as a comprehensive source of trusted technical information and the best one-stop-shop for materials data and best practices, two of the most important types of content in the engineering workflow."
Three distinct clusters of design engineers, defined primarily by their differing needs for engineering tools, were highlighted in the survey:
"Customers tell us that Knovel is a must-have during product design and development," says Chris Forbes, CEO of Knovel. "Whether engineers need to get smart on a topic during heavy lifting at project launch, find materials or document decisions in a report, the ability to access validated technical information - and easily export that information into their work - is a significant benefit and time saver. By reducing time spent searching and increasing the quality of information available, Knovel significantly improves efficiency throughout the engineering process."
