Key Features and Benefits
Centralized Idea Capture and Evaluation
Oracle’s Innovation Management solution enables organizations to gather ideas from internal teams, customers, and partners into a single repository. This centralization streamlines the innovation pipeline, helping organizations prioritize ideas based on strategic fit and market potential.
Strategic Portfolio Management
Users can evaluate and manage a portfolio of innovation projects using real-time data on market trends, costs, and projected ROI. This helps ensure that investments are aligned with strategic goals and that resources are allocated to the most impactful initiatives.
Integrated Product Development
The solution connects innovation planning with Oracle’s broader product lifecycle management (PLM) and supply chain tools. This integration reduces handoffs and silos, enabling faster time-to-market and better coordination between R&D, engineering, and manufacturing.
Scenario Planning and Financial Analysis
Oracle Innovation Management provides tools to simulate different innovation scenarios and analyze potential outcomes. Organizations can model product profitability, resource constraints, and market conditions to make better-informed decisions before committing to development.
Improved Collaboration and Governance
With built-in collaboration features, the platform fosters cross-functional communication and decision-making. Role-based access and workflow automation ensure governance, transparency, and accountability throughout the innovation lifecycle.
Accelerating the Innovation Pipeline
While generating and sharing new innovation ideas within the innovation pipeline often doesn’t pose too big of an issue for organizations, feeding the pipeline with a continuous stream of ideas that are both achievable and aligned with the product comes with a bigger challenge.
The Oracle Innovation Management solution allows companies to capture, vote on, and enrich new ideas with relevant reference content to determine whether the idea should be pushed further into the innovation funnel. This functionality also enables users to track and manage historical data and other related content for downstream reference and reuse across key business units.
Navigating the Innovation Process in Oracle
To begin the innovation process in Oracle, users must enter new innovation ideas into the work area. As ideas are grouped, analyzed, and enriched over time, they can be attached to both new and existing product concepts within the Concept Design work area.
Once a concept design is approved, product concept structures and product requirements specifications are introduced into the Product Development or Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) landscape for improved connection and collaboration. This empowers users to design new concepts, create prototypes, and deliver new products or enhancements into the production environment.
