It can also be integrated to access leading discovery databases as well as customer’s existing technologies or websites to help businesses generate sustainable growth and improve productivity.
In an interview with CIO Applications, Stephanie Creech – Ezassi’s VP of Marketing & Product Manager – shares insights into the company and explains how they are helping businesses to collaborate and innovate.
What are the major pain points in the market, and how does Ezassi solve those?
Businesses often fail to grow because of an inability to innovate effectively across their organizations. They struggle to develop and execute new ideas for growth and share those ideas with different teams securely. At Ezassi, we combine best-in-class innovation technology, automation, software, processes, expertise, consulting, and technology scouting / landscaping services to help our clients accelerate innovation. Our innovation discovery and management software platform gives clients the ability to safely implement open innovation with bi-lateral IP protection built into the system. Specifically, we enable clients to generate growth through innovation strategies and automate innovation challenges and technology scouting and landscaping, while also providing crowdsourcing subject-matter expert (SME) functionality.
