Boston, April 16, 2008 — Anaqua, a leading provider of intellectual asset management (IAM) software and services to global companies, today announced the delivery of ANAQUA6. This major new release of Anaqua’s IAM solution is already in production use and will be deployed by additional clients over the next several months. As with all ANAQUA releases, the upgrade is a straightforward procedure managed by clients themselves with no requirement for onsite support by Anaqua technical staff.
ANAQUA6 introduces a major new module called IP Review to support a wide range of review projects: Offensive Review enables clients to perform infringement analyses to evaluate potential cross-licensing or IP assertion opportunities; other reviews support Freedom to Operate studies, competitive analysis and whitespace landscaping, taking advantage of ANAQUA’s automated workflow and internal and external collaboration. The IP Review Module also provides extensive support for managing IP in the context of industry standards development organizations.
This new release also introduces improved user experience with a new look and feel, support for localization in foreign languages and enhanced support for web services, taking advantage of Microsoft’s .NET architecture.
“Our goal for ANAQUA6 is to provide a new level of improved user experience and efficiency with a solution that is easily integrated into the client environment and tailored to their needs”, said Priya Iyer, President of Anaqua. “It is made possible by the close collaboration with our client community that drives our development roadmap”.
Additional new capabilities in ANAQUA6 include:
- Improved support for Ad Hoc reporting, allowing business users to create their own reports without waiting for IT resources to develop a new report
- Enhanced integration with annuity service providers, giving Anaqua clients the flexibility to select vendors based on price and quality of service.
