After more than a year of Zoom meetings and virtual gatherings, the return of REALIZE 2021 in person felt like homecoming for the ThoughtTrace Community. 127 members congregated at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott from October 27-28 for knowledge sharing, networking, inspiration, and a sneak peek of what’s to come for the ThoughtTrace platform.

NEW RELEASE! Introducing ThoughtTrace Analytics and Relational Libraries
ThoughtTrace Chief Technology Officer Joel Hron unveiled the brand new ThoughtTrace Analytics product for the first time! ThoughtTrace Analytics allows users to tell stories with data visualizations and reports the surface actionable intelligence to drive your business forward. With ThoughtTrace Analytics, you get answers, not just information.
ThoughtTrace Analytics is comprised of three solutions:
- Data Warehouse. Direct access to your data in the form of a cloud-hosted Azure SQL database. It contains information about documents, thoughts, facts, libraries, and many other ThoughtTrace objects in your system.
- Dashboards. Curated visualizations that address role- and industry-specific workflows on day one. Some of these will be generally available to all users; some of these will be available for purchase.
- Designer. An unfettered dashboard customization experience that allows users to design and build their own widgets and dashboards from scratch or by editing one of our templates.
Releasing one HUGE new product wasn’t enough. Joel also previewed the new Relational Libraries! Relational Libraries organize documents the way you want, in the context you need so customers can quickly understand the document relationships that govern their business. Subject Matter Experts Nick Hutchens and Stephen Sickman, and Senior UX Designer Jordan Perciful showed users how to leverage Relational Libraries for well file management and lease management so users can truly understand their project or asset holistically.
Certifications and ThoughtTrace Automate Workshop
REALIZE 2021 kicked off with ThoughtTrace Basics Certification and ThoughtTrace Admin Certification where more than 30 users earned their official ThoughtTrace certification. Users also learned how to streamline their document review workflow using ThoughtTrace Automate (formerly ThoughtTrace Connect). With an easy-to-use, drag and drop interface, ThoughtTrace Automate allows users to (you guessed it!) automate redundant tasks to help them work smarter. Participants learned how to automatically upload an email attachment to ThoughtTrace, set up notifications when a fact is updated in ThoughtTrace, instantly populate facts, and more.
