As I was browsing the web searching for topics to blog I found this website about this company Sopheon. Sopheon is a company that provides software, in particular Accolade, that can help a company effectively manage its product innovation processes to spur growth. The company also promises their software will give higher product success rates by identifying the most viable new product ideas and most attractive market segments before precious resources are invested in product development.

The Accolade software focuses on product innovation management and the best way to streamline the product development process by identifying key stages. The stages Sopheon has identified are:

Ideation
Scoping new projects, including resource requirements
Building a business case
Developing the most commercially promising ideas
Testing
Launch
Post-launch follow-up

In addition, the software supposedly supports enterprise-wide, cross-functional product portfolio management and process execution. The system captures, organizes and delivers information, and provides centralized data management. The software can also be integrated into Microsoft.

Software like this can help ones company to structure, automate and measure product innovation.

I recommend you check out their website, the information they have on their product is quite interesting and I plan to pitch the idea to some of my superiors at work as we are in desperate need of so type of centralized data management software, to say the least.
