IHS ENGINEERING WORKBENCH

Expedite technical research, problem-solving and innovation with a unified knowledge solution.

The C-suite today looks to the technical enterprise to help catalyze growth, manage costs and mitigate risk. In the face of this imperative, knowledge workers find themselves drowning in data. Research shows engineers will consult, on average, 13 separate information sources to solve any given problem – spending 40% or more of their time just searching for information. To stay competitive, knowledge workers must not only find the right information fast, they must also ask the right questions of the data.

Designed by technical professionals for technical professionals, IHS Engineering Workbench™ is a breakthrough solution that provides knowledge workers with unified access to internal and external reference content, paired with analytical capabilities and problem-solving tools tailored to their research needs and workflows. The solution links external and internal content from many disparate and unstructured sources, including standards, eBooks, patents, journal articles, reports, design principles and more. Analytical and problem-solving tools – such as root cause analysis, semantic searching, and technology and patent trend analysis – overlay this integrated content, allowing you to quickly extract precise answers from voluminous data.

  • Semantic understanding: The search engine understands that when you search for “reduce” you could also mean “decrease”; therefore, you don’t have to worry about matching words to uncover answers
  • Faceted filtering with point-and-click research: Drill down by publisher, publication date, author and more to quickly locate the content you need
  • On-demand virtual subject matter expert: When you’re unsure of the questions to ask, let our add-on Research Assistant technology do the work for you so that you get answers organized by categories and, within those categories, by concepts
