As economic realities force organizations to do more with less, employees need tools improve their effectiveness.  Loqu8 Prelude empowers users with the knowledge to become more efficient. Hover a mouse over text and let Prelude's interactive, pop-up window display critical information from a document, database query or search result.

• Intuitive: Instead of entering a query into a white search box, Prelude immediately displays key information in a pop-up window. Save time while minimizing data entry errors
• Integrated: Prelude overlays information on top of Microsoft^® Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), websites and line of business (LOB) applications. Without changing any underlying applications, Prelude is the corporate productivity tool that works seamlessly within existing user environments

Why Prelude?
Business users spend roughly 9.5 hours each week searching for information. With successful searches for data occurring less than half the time, it's not surprising that 90% of a knowledge worker's time is spent recreating information that already exists, according to a KM World study. Procter & Gamble, KM World's 2009 Reality Award winner, tracked enterprise search usage. Analysis showed 34% of the queries throughout the organization were for acronyms.
