Innovation Framework Ideas review
A campaign-focused idea management tool with configurable reviews and cloud or self-hosted deployment.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Innovation Framework Ideas is an ideation and crowdsourcing module for organizations that need to collect, develop, and evaluate ideas around defined challenges. It suits mid-market and enterprise teams running structured campaigns, including programs that invite submissions from outside the organization. Participants can submit ideas with forms, photos, and attachments, then collaborate through comments, voting, expert input, or combining related ideas. The module also supports submission from computers and mobile devices.
Evaluation and workflow controls are central to the product. Committees can review ideas with scorecards, while configurable rules move them through progression stages. Administrators can set roles, permissions, notifications, and idea status; dashboards track campaign progress, idea stages, and participant activity. An embeddable open-innovation portal supports external submissions. The vendor describes the module as deployable standalone or alongside its other modules, with cloud hosting or in-house installation. Those options give organizations a choice between hosted and self-managed deployment, while self-hosting may better suit teams that need control over installation.
According to the vendor’s pricing information, licensing is available as a perpetual purchase or an annual subscription, with quotation-based pricing rather than fixed published plans. Listed integrations are LDAP, SharePoint, and MS Office, which may fit organizations already using those systems; buyers whose workflows depend on other named integrations should assess fit with the vendor. Support channels include phone, email, and ticket. Choose Ideas if a campaign structure, committee evaluation, and configurable progression are more important than a broad integration catalog or transparent self-service pricing. It is less suited to teams seeking a simple individual idea board or a product with publicly stated plan costs.
