How Eipert Information Services has helped companies stay competitive

Issue: A manufacturing company had an unusual corrosion problem in one of its plants.

Result: A literature search found obscure technical articles that pointed to a possible solution.

Issue: Engineering consultants hired to perform a failure analysis on a product installed 20 years ago needed to know the relevant regulations and industry standards from that time in order to determine if substandard workmanship played a role in an accident.

Result: The state-of-the-art procedures for construction and installation of the product during the relevant time were found via a broad search of the engineering literature. Relevant regulations and standards from the time of the initial construction were identified. Consultants now had the background information allowing them to act as experts in the litigation.

Issue: A biomedical R&D department needed to know the background of a particular German scientist.

Result: A summary of the scientist's past and present affiliations, publications, and authored patents provided insight into his credibility and competitiveness.
