eQuorum has announced Version 12.3 of its ImageSite and EngineBox engineering document management solutions, bringing substantial upgrades to search functionality, document viewing, and system governance. The release represents the company's ongoing commitment to practical innovation based directly on customer feedback from engineers, document controllers, and IT professionals.
The enhanced search experience now offers more sorting options and text location features, including single-document text searches with multi-word support and highlighted results. A key workflow improvement allows users to select a document from a full-text search and automatically carry their query into the single-document view, maintaining continuity throughout the process. Full search capabilities are now available on mobile devices, providing field teams with the same functionality as desktop users.
Performance improvements for handling large technical files represent another significant advancement in Version 12.3. Progressive rendering enhancements dramatically accelerate the viewing of large drawings, models, and PDFs, addressing a common pain point for engineering teams working with complex documents. Permissioned users now have access to a new document information panel that provides more detailed information and control when viewing documents.
Markup tools have been refined to support both formal review processes and quick field annotations, while administrators gain more granular control over watermarking placement. The release builds on workflow improvements introduced in version 12.2 of ImageSite and EngineBox, with expanded workflow mapping and monitoring capabilities giving administrators greater oversight of document processes.
For improved auditability, expanded event monitoring now tracks actions related to sets, transmittals, and submittals, addressing compliance requirements across regulated industries. Scott Brandt, CEO of eQuorum, emphasized the customer-driven approach behind the update, stating that Version 12.3 reflects the company's philosophy of providing features customers actually need rather than incorporating new technology for its own sake.
The importance of this release extends beyond technical improvements to operational efficiency and cost management for engineering organizations. With engineering document management systems serving as critical infrastructure for industries including utilities, manufacturing, architecture, engineering, construction, energy, transportation, and government, enhancements that streamline document access and workflow management directly impact productivity and project timelines.
eQuorum's support model remains a distinguishing feature, with customers maintaining direct access to knowledgeable engineers who understand the technical workflows behind their systems. This combination of practical software improvements and expert support addresses the growing complexity of document management in engineering environments where secure, scalable, and affordable solutions are increasingly essential for maintaining competitive advantage and regulatory compliance.
