Say goodbye to post-it notes, paper files, and lost ideas buried in thousands of email messages. Accept Ideas enables you to keep it all centralized, up-to-date, and, most important, secure and accessible. Need to let others take a look? No problem. Configurable role-based permissions let the right people see the right information—without nagging you every time. A huge time savings, especially for distributed teams.
All those cool ideas. Now what?
Most idea portals are islands; they’re where great ideas go to die. Accept Ideas is different. It’s the only solution that enables you to connect ideas seamlessly with the rest of your innovation process. As the best ideas bubble to the top, easily transition them to Accept Requirements and Accept Portfolio. Turn one idea into multiple product requirements. Or blend multiple ideas into a single product feature or a new concept/product altogether. Align ideas with company goals, product strategy, and resources. Everything stays intact, enabling you to trace the progression of ideas anywhere in the cycle or even back to their origins. Try that with an idea portal.
Systematic, configurable idea stages
Accept Ideas helps you systematically and efficiently steer ideas through your innovation lifecycle. Use pre-configured stages such as “new,” “in process,” “under review,” “planned,” and “archived,” or create your own in minutes. Set different paths for different needs; a new product may require different stages than would enhancements to an existing product. Or, align stages to support your own processes, including Stage-Gate™, PACE™ and others. We provide the best practices; you make them your own.
Workflow creates idea velocity
Capturing new ideas is good. Acting on them quickly is even better. Accept Ideas helps you transition ideas into new product and service concepts faster. Create theme-based tags for easy reference and aggregation. Move top ideas through stages using intuitive evaluation and approval workflows that engage key stakeholders—no training required.
No duplicates
When someone enters a new idea, Accept Ideas automatically searches for similar concepts and guides users to enhance the existing idea rather than create a copy. No need to chase down duplicate ideas and guess if they should be combined. Encouraging collaboration around similar concepts improves the quality of each idea while reducing administration time.
