Trends and Opportunities

 
  One of the key drivers for the establishment of Prodex systems was the identification of two significant trends in NPD management.  
  Trend 1: 
  Adoption and use of the Stage-Gate® process is growing. In the US an estimated 72% of fortune 500 companies are using Gate based NPD processes.  
  Trend 2:  
 

Automation of NPD processes offers significant benefits. Web based systems allow access to project and portfolio information any-time, anywhere. The role of automated systems in knowledge management and information re-use is also growing significantly.

In 2004, Prodex Systems completed an international evaluation of suppliers and systems in NPD management. This process led to the identification of the Accolade software system (developed by UK based Sopheon Ltd), as the world leading solution in this field.

Prodex systems has now been appointed as the Australian reseller of Accolade and has established a growing network of consultants to support implementation of the Accolade Software throughout Australia.
