There are obviously other products available for managing innovation, though none of them is equipped with a correlation engine specifically aimed at achieving the breakthroughs your company requires.

Why I-Nova? Because we are the only software house to combine insight discovery, ideation and idea management in one easy-to-use package that can be implemented at every management level right down to the shop floor. It all depends on your strategy. What is more, our R&D department has worked for 8 years in collaboration with the Computer Research Department of the elite Ecole des Mines de Paris, meaning that the I-Nova Suite is a thoroughbred research tool developed by researchers for researchers and other professionals in the quest for innovation. We devote a significant percentage of our turnover to R&D and we practice what we preach. David Carteret, a founder of I-Nova, creator of the correlation engine, and head of its R&D, works constantly to improve the power of its algorithms, functions and processes. In addition to internal tests, the product and its applications are tested at our clients’ sites, after their needs have been integrated and functionalised.

Why stay on the same old track? Isn't it time to learn a new game?

Most current innovations involve slight changes of methods in a constant quest to optimize existing processes rather than create new developments from scratch. This slow but sure incremental approach can also be very costly. You know that your competitors are following the same track because you are playing the same game. But what if you changed track, what if you had a tool that gave a whole range of options from which to choose? What if you had a tool that could glean the most pertinent information from scientific articles, specialist sources and manage an idea bank enriched by your own employees and customers? What if you had a tool that allowed you to sift and sort, categorize and assess, and finally allowed you to perceive the white spaces of opportunity that I-Nova’s correlation engine can open up for you.

The correlation engine favors these combinations and assists analysis of the product environment: it speeds up the meeting of ideas and the people who contribute to identifying innovations.
The correlation engine can work with up to 20 million records in a database. The time required to answer a basic query is <0.3 s while a complex query, e.g. clustered, takes <3 s.  The figures speak for themselves.

The idea reactor - from raw idea to concept.
