NewsGator targets innovation management

NewsGator reports it has launched a new, social innovation solution designed to streamline the end-to-end innovation management process—from ideation, to evaluation and incubation, to execution and measurement. NewsGator claims Social Sites for Innovation empowers companies to create an open, innovative-based culture that aligns with corporate objectives and fuels measurable business value, resulting in a more agile company, faster time-to-market and engaged and satisfied stakeholders.

NewsGator Social Sites for Innovation uses a single secure enterprise collaboration platform and helps companies to tap into the creativity and expertise of their global employees to crowdsource, assess and implement ideas, as well as measure the impact and results of those ideas.

The company says it unites people from disparate backgrounds, business units, geographies and expertise to facilitate spontaneous, diverse interactions while managing innovation in a more structured manner. NewsGator adds the solution protects the company’s intellectual property with existing security and authentication protocols.
