Planview IdeaPlace is off to a great start in 2017 after a very successful 2016.<\/p>\n

Last year we announced<\/a> our strategy to extend our leadership in Innovation Management<\/a>, and I\u2019m pleased to say that we are firing on all cylinders, as Planview IdeaPlace has become the de facto standard for the enterprise.<\/p>\n

With the New Year in full swing, I\u2019m excited to share a couple of big announcements with you.<\/p>\n

IdeaPlace\u2019s Acquisition of Kindling <\/span><\/p>\n

First, I\u2019m delighted to announce Planview IdeaPlace\u2019s acquisition of Kindling Inc.<\/div>\n

Kindling, which was among the top innovation management tools in the Forrester Wave\u2122 for Innovation Management Solutions (2016)<\/i> report, is a team-level idea management tool used by global enterprises including NBC Universal, NewsCorp, Etsy, and BBDO.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to enhance both the Planview IdeaPlace team as well as our customer base through this acquisition. We\u2019ll be able to provide a stellar customer experience, and we are looking forward to working closely with Kindling customers. As part of the acquisition, the employees at Kindling will join Planview IdeaPlace\u2019s sales, development, customer success, and operations teams.<\/p>\n

Ultimately we see new opportunities for Kindling customers to take advantage of Planview IdeaPlace\u2019s industry leading software as well as support and strategy teams to help drive their success.<\/p>\n

For Planview IdeaPlace customers, you\u2019ll have an even broader community of innovation peers and the assurance that you have chosen the market leader as your innovation management software of choice.<\/p>\n

2016 was a record year for Planview IdeaPlace<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to thank you, our customers, for a record year. I\u2019m pleased to announce that we grew sales 39% year-over-year in 2016.<\/p>\n
