TRIZ in TriS-IDEAS Software
The web-based software TriS-IDEAS utilises the best practices in problem solving with TRIZ, which were identified and further developed by TriS experts as well as verified in numerous industrial innovation and problem solving projects, including:
functional and contradiction analysis
updated 40 innovation principles
4 groups of separation principles
inventive algorithm for comprehensive problem solving: TRIZ step-by-step
process for anticipatory failure identification
method for prediction of technical evolution and technology roadmapping
TriS-IDEAS doesn't require high-level TRIZ expertise from its users. It takes advantage of the principle of using "TRIZ-on demand" if for example a technical problem can not be solved satisfactorily without resorting to TRIZ methods. The easy to use software can be very helpful in the starting phase of TRIZ application within companies. Firstly, it helps to integrate the TRIZ techniques with the working processes of the company, and secondly it builds up TRIZ competencies within the company.
TriS-IDEAS combines the proven problem solving capabilities of TRIZ with an intuitive user interface with an internet look and feel. The software enables users to generate idea pools, evaluate possible solutions, augment and customise the built-in TRIZ knowledge-base with their own company-specific examples and inventive principles. The software also automatically documents every stage in the idea development process, making it easier for the users to explore multi-path solutions.

TRIZ in TriS-IDEAS Software
TriS-IDEAS utilises a problem solving algorithm, which step-by-step offers all the TRIZ principles and checklists until one or several suitable solution ideas are found. It can be also used for fast problem solving, for brainstorming or brainwriting via a company's web-based intranet.
Another significant advantage is the possibility of systematically defining the complete search field for a concrete technical system (TS) or task. This work has to be done at the initial stage of problem formulation by the analysis of all potential conflicts between the components of the TS. For each conflict-pair TriS-IDEAS helps to formulate technical contradictions, ideal final results and physical contradictions on the macro and micro level. This approach provides a complete search tree with numerous (typically more than 100) formal solution ideas, which can be used to build protective patent fences.

Prediction of Technical Evolution and Technology Roadmapping
The unbiased TRIZ patterns of technical evolution help to forecast the possible technical evolution of products or processes, based upon the latest technologies. They help also to get around the patents of competitors and to strengthen the company's market position in the medium to long term.
TriS-IDEAS offers a pragmatic step-by step approach for quantitative analysis of the current evolutionary status of systems and shows the possibilities for their future development in accordance with the main evolution patterns. This software module firstly helps to analyse the initial situation, and to identify resources and contradictions. In the next step, users can build a roadmapping matrix combining the appropriate evolution patterns with the chosen system components to be investigated. Such a convenient and straightforward approach helps to initiate the next stage of the technological evolution, a so-called paradigm shift or to reveal uncovered product features.
In this way, the development cycle of a system prior to it reaching the highly profitable stage of maturity can be considerably shortened, and secondly, a timely and loss-free transition to new technology is assured.
