DataLan Corporation’s InnovaOPN innovation management software is the simple, agile, flexible solution supporting the innovation lifecycle (product, service, operational, or business model) from concept through development, implementation, and impact. InnovaOPN’s unique architecture, based on Microsoft SharePoint technology, allows organizations to configure it in support of a new process in days, rather than weeks or months, enabling companies to rapidly deploy, measure, adjust and adapt innovation processes and/or structure individuals and teams in new ways. InnovaOPN is different from existing Innovation Management solutions.  PLM/PDM systems are designed and licensed for engineering and design groups – too expensive to deploy to the greater enterprise.  Other Ideation/Innovation software products are “hardwired” to support a single methodology or defined stage in the innovation process.  Custom developed solutions are static and can’t quickly adapt to changes in markets, processes, or structures. InnovaOPN can help you meet the challenge:

Simple – Supporting Adoption – InnovaOPN is designed to promote adoption by leveraging Microsoft SharePoint Technology providing employees, partners, and customers the capabilities they need to support innovation through your corporate websites and the familiar Office desktop tools they use every day.

Agile – Addressing the Dynamic Nature of Innovation – InnovaOPN’s unique architecture allows organizations to configure it in support of a new or additional process in days, rather than weeks or months, enabling companies to rapidly deploy, measure, adjust and adapt innovation processes and/or structure individuals and teams in new ways.

Flexible – Supporting the Many Ways to Innovate – InnovaOPN provides tools that can be used to support virtually any kind of innovation type, stakeholder, methodology, structure, or process.

Scalable – Enabling the Enterprise – InnovaOPN is architected to scale as large as your SharePoint infrastructure supporting any number of user and user types, process and process types, engagement models and idea capture portals.

Extensible – Connecting Innovation Resources – InnovaOPN is architected for simple integration through Microsoft standard technologies to connect to ERP, PLM, Project Management, Knowledge Management, IP, BI, or other internal or external systems.
