Incubator is a collaborative, web-based software application that acts as a repository for your best ideas - allowing your innovative teams to capture, manage, incubate and evaluate their ideas effectively and consistently.

Incubator helps workgroups to manage their best ideas:

• Capture: Ideas from any source can be captured by Incubator. Users can email ideas to Incubator, use a simple web interface to add ideas to Incubator, or use other idea generation tools such as MindManager® to generate ideas and import those ideas into Incubator.
• Incubate: In Incubator, a simple idea can be fleshed out over time. Users can add graphics, documents, links and comments to an idea to give it context. Incubator also creates a threaded discussion forum each time an idea enters the system.
• Evaluate: Incubator provides a configurable framework to allow teams to determine what process or groups should evaluate an idea, and what the evaluation criteria should be. Incubator provides for consistent, transparent evaluation of ideas and helps you manage your idea portfolio.

Incubator includes capabilities to help manage ideas in the innovation process, including keyword search and sophisticated filtering in an application that is easy to use and easy to understand.
