	TriS-IDEAS Software Innovation Process via Web-based Intranet Please contact us for detailed information		Innovation as a process? The term "innovation" has a lot of facets. Is it really possible to execute innovation as a process in the form of a series of definite steps? The most leading and successful of companies answer positively to this question. As with any other process, they systematically develop, manage and monitor their innovation performance, rigorously avoiding trial-and-error methods and reducing risks and costs during new product development. TriS has studied innovation best practises and industrial innovation methods over the years. Our standard software application, TriS-IDEAS is a unique package of innovation tools for industry. It was developed through the close co-operation we have with our customers: R&D and marketing departments of corporations and medium-sized enterprises, and tested through application in numerous innovation projects.   Customizing If you have already developed the innovation process in your company but still do not have the software tools for its integration within your company? We will readily customize our standard TriS-IDEAS software to your specific innovation process solution and requirements for idea and knowledge management.   Software Really Support the Innovation Management Process? Today, few people would argue whether or not software applications are needed for Computer Aided Design (CAD) or manufacturing (CAM), or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The advantages of such applications simply prevail, and there are numerous established software products that support these business activities on the market. But when a company begins to look for innovation management software, it will find a diversity of packages available and the task of selecting the right tool that contains all the key elements necessary for successful innovation is not so straightforward. Since 1998 TriS Europe has been striving to formalise innovation as a controllable and measurable business process. As result of close co-operation with our customers - the R&D and marketing departments of companies, we have developed a universal approach for managing the innovation process which is appropriate for both manufacturing and service companies regardless of their business sector. This innovation management process combined the best-practice innovation tools and was launched as the web-based software package, TriS-IDEAS for computer-aided innovation (CAI).   Computer-Aided Innovation (CAI) and TRIZ Methodology After the introduction of TRIZ to the USA in the early 1990's, its techniques and databases (originally developed in Russia) were used as the basis of innovation software. This was the birth of a new field of technical engineering - Computer Aided Innovation (CAI). The TRIZ-based computer programs assist the qualified user in solving technical problems and developing ingenious new products with the help of TRIZ-based tools, databases and practical examples. They were often earlier erroneously considered to be "invention machines", however they do not deliver inventions at the click of a mouse button. The typical TRIZ based software tools however do not fulfil the CAI-demands as they neither formulate the innovation strategy nor support the complete innovation process.   Computer-Aided Innovation (CAI) with TriS-IDEAS The web-based TriS-IDEAS eliminates this obstacle. It organises innovation as a manageable process and helps to make innovation success predictable and repeatable. It contains best practice innovation methods: from capturing customer requirements and benchmarking competitors through to systematic idea generation with TRIZ and selection of best innovation concepts.
