Technology to Leverage
Collective Intelligence
Imaginatik is the leading vendor of Innovation and Idea Management technology and services. For more than 10 years, we have offered our 400+ clients unrivalled insights and expertise to support their Collective Intelligence initiatives.
We accomplish this with our award-winning flagship software, called Idea Central.
In any successful innovation effort, several critical factors are at play: leadership, climate and culture, and the process to manage ideas. We understand that software is therefore only a part of the solution, and we have invested considerable effort in developing a flexible methodology to help companies get the most from their Collective Intelligence initiatives.
Imaginatik provides a field-tested services team that assists companies at every step of implementing their Innovation and Idea Management programs.
Fast Deployment for Rapid ROI
Our products are designed to be easy to use, requiring no end user training, and can be deployed very quickly. Only a standard web browser is needed to access them.
The Idea Central system can either be installed on the customer's internal infrastructure or on the secure web servers of Imaginatik's world-class hosting facility. We offer a variety of security and integration options for hosted customers, and more than 90% of our clients have chosen the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, including Fortune 100 companies.
Combined with our leading-edge implementation services, the hosting option enables customers to achieve value from the system within weeks. It is also the ideal infrastructure if you intend to work with customers, suppliers or other externals in an Open Innovation environment.
Highly Configurable Systems for the Enterprise
Imaginatik’s software contains a configuration layer that enables clients to customize their environments easily to meet their current and future requirements. It allows the tool to be applied in many ways, maximizing the return on investment and limiting the need for any customer-specific code.
Organizations deploy several instances of Idea Central event streams within their installation to handle different business problems and user communities concurrently. For example, you may set up a tightly restricted, always-open system for invention disclosure purposes, while your time-bound marketing events offer open access, use very different submission forms, and contain an entirely different look and feel.
Our technology has been designed explicitly to meet complex enterprise requirements. It is based on a highly scalable and flexible architecture, and incorporates the features required for a world-class Collective Intelligence system, including intellectual property protection, powerful workflow, and flexible security options.
Deep Human Technology
The functionality of our Collective Intelligence systems operates at a deep psychological level with individuals and groups of all sizes to encourage them to optimally use the tools available for personal, group and organizational benefit.
This Deep Human Technology has been developed using rigorous data analysis tools and doctoral research to identify and overcome the blockages that often prevent effective and highly-engaged use of collaborative technology.
