Please add
Kind regards
Hi,
Thanks for mentioning that link, that's a nice list!
This is a good opportunity to mention that a couple of the criteria I used in compiling my list were that
* I restricted it to English language sites only (so that I could meaningfully assess whether the sites intended to promote a genuine Idea Management System)
* I excluded related software products such as Mind Mapping software products that didn't cover additional aspects of the Idea Management process such as evaluation and review of ideas.
If you have any links to English language sites for Idea Management products not on my list, please let me know the additional details!
It is also great to know of lists of Idea Management software in other languages, thank you for that.
Comprehensive list. I would add MillionBrains, www.millionbrains.com.
Hello Frode,
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll add MillionBrains to the updated list on the sidebar of this website.

Outside this list, there are also idea management solutions in larger organizations built on MS SharePoint to get integration with collaboration, social networking etc. internally. At Ericsson we started our own collaborative idea management inititive like that a few years ago.

Hi Magnus,
Great comment. You are absolutely correct, other systems such as Sharepoint, process management software, ERP software, and PLM software systems can also be used to implement an Idea Management System or indeed a bespoke system, and there are pros and cons between each of these options and special purpose Idea Management software.
Whatever choice your organization makes, the key is to choose or configure software that enables innovation processes that meet your business needs.
Hi - our Idea Management platform, Crowdworks (www.crowdworks.net)has been in the market here in the UK for the past 2 years and has been adopted by organisation as diverse as the BBC, Boots, Royal College of Nursing. We would love a mention in your list.

It's simple fast and inexpensive.
It was originally called JumpStart, but has recently been renamed to fit in with the product line.
MediaBlinkk - www.mediablinkk.com
