Customers deploying Sopheon's Accolade(R) Software beyond
innovation underlines market potential
Sopheon, the international provider of software, expertise, and
best practices for Enterprise Innovation Management, highlights
that advances in configurability and security are further
strengthening its Accolade software to manage increasingly varied
sets of portfolios across a customer's organization. This is
translating into added value for customers as they leverage their
investments in the software for additional business
applications.
Jason Eckert, SVP of Global Research, Development and Quality at
Leprino Foods Company, the world's largest producer of mozzarella
cheese and a recent Sopheon customer, explained: "We were looking
for a single, easy to use system to manage different types of
projects and portfolios-some very complex-that would enable
consistent cross-functional communication and visibility into both
project health and progress. Accolade is a powerful platform that
can support many use cases and corporate portfolios, which has
allowed us to extend our initial investment for managing our new
product development into other areas including IT project
portfolios and electronic lab notebooks. Accolade enables these
diverse applications in ways that are highly searchable, auditable,
and easy for our users to adopt."
Sopheon's offerings today go well beyond the Company's roots in
new product development to support nearly any type of value
creation effort across the enterprise, including corporate strategy
execution, cost savings, IT PPM (project and portfolio management),
mergers & acquisitions, Capex, and IP (intellectual property)
management. Thanks to robust security capabilities and granular yet
flexible access controls, the client's business environment can
permit, without risk, accessibility to highly sensitive data by all
who require it for high value collaboration and decision making.
This solution adaptability is reflected in Sopheon's recent
placement in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Project Portfolio
Management, Worldwide.
Mr. Eckert went on to say: "This was pure value add for us, with
no extra costs beyond increasing our user base. We expect to derive
additional benefit from managing all of these activities-and more
in the future-on a single platform."
Sopheon continues to develop the Accolade system to provide a
secured, protected environment that reflects customer security
policies for business data, IP and financial data. This commitment
is validated by the Company's ISO 27001 information security
management certification, which encompasses product development,
implementation, support and hosting services. Accolade Cloud is
also certified as Skyhigh Enterprise-Ready, satisfying security
requirements developed in conjunction with the CSA (Cloud Security
Alliance).
