Harvesting intellectual capital

With added archiving and collaboration capabilities, Cerebyte has significantly enhanced its suite of 10 applications. The software is designed to apply the captured knowledge of business operations to generate more revenue and increase customer satisfaction without adding personnel. The company cites the additional benefits of minimizing the loss of intellectual capital through employee turnover, reducing employee training time and enhanced ability to the ability scale the organization.

Version 3.0 incorporates a new “roadmap for reuse” capability that creates a special archive so the user can define and store captured intellectual capital. Infinos captures intellectual and distills it as best practices. According to company founder William Seidman, the technology facilitates the synthesis of experience, processes, understanding and data into roadmaps that are easy to use and effective at reproducing superior decision-making behavior.

Other new features include the ability to link existing process documents, workflow management capability and e-mail launch.

Seidman reports that enhancements include improvements to the navigation system, simplified terminology to improve communications and upgraded bar chart capabilities that permit the user to view an entire schedule on a single screen.

Upgrades are priced at $400 per seat. A complete software suite sells for $2,500 per seat, and discounts are provided for volume purchases. The intellectual portion of Infinos intellectual capital software is programmed in Visual Basic, writes a Microsoft Access-compatible database and creates output through Microsoft Office in an MS Windows environment.

Cerebyte is also creating a business-to-business application service provider to enable 24/7 access to its software, roadmaps library and online services.
