Sopheon Acquires Front-End Innovation Management Business Solverboard
18 Maio 2022 - 10:00AM
Sopheon, the leading international provider of software and
services for Enterprise Innovation Management solutions, today
announced it has acquired the business and assets of Solverlink
Limited (trading as Solverboard®). Solverboard is a UK-based
business specializing in front-end innovation management.
Solverboard's cloud-native product reduces time to value by
helping companies dynamically find, align, test and deliver the
best innovation and product ideas from employees and customers.
Companies often struggle with low success rates for innovation and
product development programs. The biggest obstacle is at the front
end of their programs, where there’s a lack of processes and tools
to ensure that only the best opportunities move forward.
Solverboard brings the innovation and product needs of
professionals together so that they can focus on addressing these
front-end innovation challenges with a distinct set of
capabilities.
Solverboard is used by both individual innovators and product
professionals. Sopheon will continue to offer a free version of
Solverboard and a paid subscription with more advanced features, as
well as a version integrated into the Sopheon platform.
“The acquisition of Solverboard is another step in our mission
to provide the most comprehensive innovation platform for the
world’s best companies,” said Greg Coticchia, CEO of Sopheon.
“Managing the front end of innovation is an often-overlooked part
of the new product development process. Unlike traditional idea
management solutions, Solverboard’s powerful capabilities create a
culture of continuous learning and improvement for users and ensure
that innovation and products solve real-world customer problems.
Adding Solverboard’s expertise to Sopheon’s growing portfolio of
SaaS-based innovation products strengthens our position as the
premier solution for innovation management, from strategies and
ideas to execution and delivery.”
This is the second acquisition of a cloud-native, SaaS solution
by Sopheon in the past six months. In December 2021, the company
acquired ROI Blueprints. Fully integrated with Sopheon’s flagship
product Accolade®, ROI Blueprints is a detailed project management
solution that guides companies through the intricacies of project
execution. The Solverboard and ROI Blueprints acquisitions are key
additions to a growing range of products that help Sopheon’s
customers address innovation management and new product development
challenges.
Accolade is Sopheon’s flexible and scalable innovation
system that provides the ability to control and manage
innovation and new product development programs more effectively.
Hundreds of long-standing blue-chip customers have experienced
superior strategy-to-execution performance, decreased time to
market, streamlined operational costs and greater product
success.
