Loqu8 Announces Insight for Windows

Online, May 10, 2010 (Newswire.com) - MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Information workers frequently need to access business information, yet critical data is frequently stored inside spreadsheets and databases. Loqu8 Insight instantly displays information from multiple resources in a single pop-up window. Users can visually search for critical data from a web page or inside a Microsoft Office document (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

"Business users are inundated with information in their workplace," explained Dr. Timothy Uy, President and CEO of Loqu8. "With employees wasting up to 20% of their time searching, gathering and recreating information, Insight is a powerful instant information tool that can dramatically improve worker productivity and expedite business decisions."

INSIGHT EMPOWERS WORKERS WITH VISUAL SEARCH

When fast response time is important, Loqu8 Insight enables workers to meet the most demanding requests for real-time information. Mouse over text to view financials from Excel, lists from SharePoint and product specs from Access. Insight consolidates the widest range of information in a streamlined pop-up window for instant access on a web page, Microsoft Office document or other application. Collaborate with others and synch data from Google Docs spreadsheets.

THE POWER OF INSTANT INFORMATION

Refined through years of research at Stanford University in cognitive science and information processing, Loqu8's augmented information engine responds immediately when users hover their mouse over words. Windows 7 compatible touch screens are also supported. By understanding the users' original context (application environment plus words and sentence), Insight shows relevant information through a pop-up window. This knowledge becomes immediately actionable when they apply the information in real-time-saving time plus reducing errors and costs.
