NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Imaginatik plc
(AIM: IMTK), founder of the idea management technology and services
solution category, today debuted its new Innovation as a Service
offering – a new industry business model that responds to the
emerging enterprise need for innovation skills, capacity and
measurable results. The company unveiled this revolutionary
solution at its 2011 Innovation Leaders Forum at the New York Stock
Exchange.
With the exception of Imaginatik, all players in the Idea
Management or Innovation Management technology category are
pure-play technology or software providers. Services
represent less than 10% of total revenues. Imaginatik has
broken away from the whole industry with a unique model to deliver
innovation results versus mere software or mere idea lists.
Innovation as a Service offers a unique, deep partnership with
Global 1,000 organizations that augments their inherent know-how,
capacity to innovate and technology platforms to optimize their
mission-critical innovation processes. As part of the model,
Imaginatik provides the entire back-end framework of innovation for
a global enterprise, supporting innovation initiatives with on-site
staff, a rich on-demand innovation platform, e-learning and
leadership training, plus accountability metrics for measurable
results.
The Innovation as a Service solution builds on Imaginatik's
nearly 15 years of experience in developing and deploying the best
technological and human tools for successful innovation at Global
1,000 enterprises. The company has supported more than 400
innovation projects since its inception. The company offers
clients three ways to achieve dramatic innovation results:
do-it-yourself technology for self-sufficient clients; assisted
innovation for clients seeking technology plus some consulting
assistance; and, finally, Innovation as a Service for speed to
market or skill situations where large benefits may be associated
with innovation.
"At the very same time that Innovation has become a boardroom
priority, organizations are struggling to find the expertise
necessary to help them achieve optimal innovation results," said
Matt Cooper, chairman at Imaginatik.
"It's no longer a question of 'Why innovate?' but how to
innovate effectively and efficiently. Imaginatik's partnerships
accelerate innovation outcomes while reducing failure risk by
giving the internal innovation team the know-how, best practices,
program management and advanced technology to deliver on strategic
commitments."
Imaginatik's Innovation as a Service consulting methodology has
already garnered the respect of forward-thinking organizations that
rely on innovation to stay on the cutting edge, including the New
York Stock Exchange, NASA and the U.S. General Services
Administration. Innovation as a Service enables these and other
organizations to tap into and fully leverage the expertise and
knowledge of their entire networks to solve problems and achieve
real, measurable innovation outcomes.
