PALO ALTO, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Studies show that employees spend a significant portion of
their time searching for information within their organization, resulting in a loss of productivity that can impact
profitability. To address this issue, ebrary®, a leading provider of digital content products and technologies, is
developing DASH! (Data Sharing, Fast), a new self-publishing technology that turns documents into highly
interactive archives with full-text search and other powerful research capabilities.
To help refine and productize DASH! for the corporate marketplace, ebrary today announced that it is seeking pilot
participants from corporations of all types and sizes. Anyone interested may email marketing@ebrary.com, or visit
ebrary at SLA (booth #848), June 13-15 in New Orleans, LA. Additionally, ebrary will be showcasing DASH! and
other new technologies over lunch on Monday, June 14, from 12pm to 2pm at the New Orleans Marriott at the
Convention Center.
“ebrary uses DASH! internally to archive our market research, presentations, RFPs, contracts, invoices, emails and
other documents, and it has saved us valuable time previously spent navigating through our intranet or CRM system,
or even weeding through file cabinets,” said Kevin Sayar, President of ebrary. “With DASH!, we can literally find
the critical information we need in seconds. We look forward to extending DASH! to other companies and learning
from their experiences.”
DASH! currently offers the following functionality:
l Easy uploading of PDF documents, or anything that be converted into PDF
l Single or multiple document upload
l Instant availability of uploaded files
