utilizing
Making use of
Utilizing means putting something to use, especially in a practical or effective way.
It's a longer synonym for "using" that some consider unnecessarily formal or bureaucratic: We're utilizing all available resources.
Critics note that "use" almost always works better, making "utilize" a mark of inflated prose.
Still, it persists in technical and business writing.
