Idea Management, Open Innovation, and Continuous Improvement Solutions.

Leverage the collective intelligence of your organization with INCENT’s 3rd generation Idea Management solution – Eureka (previously known as iDS-Idea Development System) . Unlike traditional suggestion boxes, Eureka is an idea factory. It will revolutionize how your organization brainstorms and collaborates for solutions to everyday problems. Its user friendly (facebook-style) interface and available game mechanics guarantee that your team will actively embrace your continuous improvement and innovation initiatives.

Connecting ideas from employees, suppliers, and customers to management’s strategy has always been a challenge and a major opportunity for organizations. Eureka allows management to guide the innovation potential in strategic directions while stakeholders generate ideas on a daily basis for new products, new business, sustainability, and continuous improvement. Our approach accelerates innovation through collaboration and the use of algorithms designed to identify the ideas with most merit.

Unlike many idea management offerings on the market, Eureka is an enterprise-grade platform which integrates social collaboration with traditional workflows and analytics while providing a simple yet effective toolset to carry ideas through to implementation. After all, success comes not from great ideas, but from those which are implemented.
