Following on the heels of announcing the acquisition of Kindling and record growth in 2016 earlier this year, today Planview IdeaPlace announces its biggest product release to date plus a new addition to the team.
We’re serious when we say this release is big. How big? Try this on for size.
Planview IdeaPlace releases game-changing capabilities
Here are five of the new capabilities Planview IdeaPlace customers will have at their fingertips with the latest release:
- A new REST API that allows customers to integrate their innovation pipeline and process in Planview IdeaPlace with software like project management software, ERP systems, and business intelligence tools
- New innovation portfolio value tracking and reporting that enables Innovation teams to keep track of the business value of their innovation pipeline
- Ability to track and report the projected business value – such as time, cost, revenue – of your innovation pipeline across all business units in one dashboard
Pull the best ideas from Planview IdeaPlace into a variety of technologies such as rapid prototyping software and concept development tools
Ability to accept ideas from any enterprise collaboration tool such as Slack, Jive, and Microsoft 365
“Our Spring release is our biggest ever and contains great features and functionality that allow our customers to extend the reach of their programs whilst continuing to strengthen valuation generation and tracking,” says Gareth Bradley, VP of Product Management at Planview IdeaPlace.
As Planview IdeaPlace continues to add game-changing capabilities to its software, customers are in a great position to drive significant transformation within their companies no matter what the use case is. This is exciting because it enables them to solve problems at scale, smash silos, and build a more collaborative environment that benefits everyone – employees, customers, you name it.
Now, on to the newest addition to the Planview IdeaPlace team.
Technology industry veteran Don Morrison joins the Planview IdeaPlace team
We’re absolutely thrilled to have Don Morrison join the Planview IdeaPlace team as Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales.
