Smart Home Technology Market Report

Patrick King, an analyst at a Market Research company is assigned the task to publish a detailed report on the Smart Home Technology market. He and his associate, Ann Liu, do detailed research, gather relevant information, and synthesize the research results before he starts writing his report.
Patrick creates a new Taskspace “Smart Home” for the project and uses the Numici editor to create an outline of the report. He and his associate, Ann, use Google search to find web sites and documents relevant to the topic at hand.

When they find web pages that have useful information, they activate the Numici extension for Chrome and add them to the Taskspace simply by clicking on + icon in the extension side pane. Numici adds the meta data associated with the web page to the Taskspace along with a link to the page.

A colleague shares with Patrick an industry standard specification as an email attachment. Patrick forwards the email to inbox@numici.com. Numici matches the sender’s address with Patrick’s account on Numici and makes the email and attachment available to him in the “Inbox” tab. Patrick opens the Inbox and adds the attachment to the “Smart Home” Taskspace.

As they read web pages, they extract key information simply by highlighting it or taking a screenshot using Numici extension for Chrome. They extract key information from the PDF documents in the Taskspace the same way – by highlighting it or taking screenshots. Patrick and Ann also add notes – using the comment button – to capture insights, and action items for gathering more information. They collaborate around the notes in context using the “reply” button in the annotation card in the extension sidepane.
