IntelliConnect – Developments in 2010 and Beyond

October 2010

IntelliConnect Development Review

Our goal with IntelliConnect is to enable your research to soar to new heights.

We continue to work in partnership with you, our customers, to gain the feedback that enables us to make meaningful enhancements to the platform and meet your needs with skyrocketing success.

We have engaged you throughout the development of our two enhancement releases version 2.1 (July 2010) and 3.0 (Dec 2010).

IntelliConnect Release 2.1

While most of you liked IntelliConnect’s global search capabilities that enabled powerful search across multiple platforms and a vast array of content, others told us they wanted easier-to-find tools for pre-search scoping (e.g. improved Browse Tree, tools for setting up Practice Areas/Favorites, and tools to find publications).

We addressed these needs and more, with our July 4th enhancement release 2.1.

“The new browse tree format is much more user-friendly. Besides the browse tree,

I like how the support information and forms are much more easily accessible.”

"The new IntelliConnect enhancements such as the Titles A-Z feature make it much easier for our users to

find their favorite Wolters Kluwer publications and more quickly complete their research tasks.”

IntelliConnect 2.1 Enhancements New Home Page put key features front and center and

opened the Browse Tree by default Titles A-Z list provided instant access to all of the

publications and products in a firm’s subscription Easier to find and faster tools for setting up Practice Areas More intuitive way to save and use Favorite content sets ‘Relate’ link allowed targeted selection of related tax

documents Enhancement to highlighting search terms within

documents More search tabs (up to 8) and "Close All tabs" feature Enhanced post-search filters functionality Larger/Adjustable fonts Ability to select and print text Log in enhancement for Anonymous IP users Enhanced presentation of Trackers Enhanced Firefox browser support

“Just looked at the enhancements. Very

impressive . . .yet another indication that

you guys are way ahead of the curve!”

“In preparation for a RIA KO this morning I

ran through my presentation and found that

the enhancements to IC have been

understated. The platform is now

exceptional... best on the market. We all

need to look at how we are doing demos...

we can all make them more powerful.”

IntelliConnect Release 3.0 The second 2010 enhancement release, targeted for December, will

compliment 2.1’s pre-search scoping tools with capabilities that will ensure the user’s most important search results are near the top of the results list.

The IntelliConnect development team has dedicated its energy and resources to drive relevance in search results. By enabling customers to view the content most relevant to their research activities within the first page of results, we are helping to make your time more productive.

Expanded browse tree left pane – A tool to widen the browse tree’s use of horizontal space to allow users to explore the tree without moving the divider.

Other tools across browse, filtering, finding related documents and navigation enhancements will also be part of the 3.0 release.
