Accolade Management Solution

 
 
Prodex Systems is the Australian reseller of Sopheon's Accolade software suite. The Accolade solution provides a number of software modules that can be used in different configurations to maximise efficiency as well as govern and drive your NPD processes:
 
     
   
     
  Modules  
  Stage Gate Process Modeler: Sopheon Accolade’s Process Modeler helps your organization navigate the complexities of the development process faster and more effectively integrating decision-making support to speed the right products through your process. Accolade Process Modeler assists in automating your product development processes and can be easily adapted to accommodate the particular needs of individual business units, product lines, or fast-track processes for line extensions or product improvements.  
     
  Product Portfolio Management: Sopheon's Portfolio Management measures the performance and viability of your new product initiatives, helping you to quickly set and rebalance the strategic “buckets” for your development investments. As project work is generated, the system automatically draws down relevant data for portfolio analysis, providing a real-time view of project status to inform project selection and to make more effective prioritization decisions.  
     
  Idea Lab: Sopheon's Idea Lab streamlines the ideation process allowing thorough and consistent generation, collection and evaluation of new and innovative ideas. The collaborative aspect of the software provides refinement and filtering of ideas to ensure only the most commercially viable progress into the development phase.  
     
  Idea Management: Sopheon’s Accolade Idea Management software lets you link product ideas directly to innovation strategy. Capture and categorize new product ideas and benchmark them against Sopheon’s best-practice scorecards and your organization’s key metrics. The software’s reporting capabilities allow evaluators to compare and contrast idea scores to identify the most technically feasible and commercially promising. Selected ideas can be pulled into your innovation process in Accolade.  
     
  Document Routing & Approval: Sopheon’s Accolade Document Routing and Approval software streamlines the document approval process. Improve communication and enable greater accountability among your global development teams by incorporating automated routing.  
     
  Resource Planning: Sopheon’s Accolade Resource Planning software provides visibility to how development resources are being allocated, enabling users to plan more effectively, evaluate capacity requirements, and avoid critical bottlenecks.  
     
  Microsoft Project Integration: All Sopheon products integrate seamlessly with the Microsoft Office suite including Office, Excel, Powerpoint and Project. Microsoft Project plans are able to be fully integrated into Accolade to analyse and draw data from.  
     
  Vision Strategist & Roadmapping: Sopheon's Vision Strategist enables strategic forecasting of projects and resources by aligning and automating market, product and technology trends. Using the software, strategic planners can build upon the easy to understand roadmapping frameworks to develop graphical representations that can be compared by building in data and relationships between related elements.
