Flagpole™ Introduces Integration With Basecamp Project Management Software From 37 Signals
Thousands of the World's most respected companies use 37 Signals' Basecamp Project Collaboration software everyday to ensure that their projects run smoothly. But where do the ideas that spark your new projects originate?
Using Flagpole and Basecamp in tandem, companies can add a host of new functions to their project landscape. Flagpole delivers Open Innovation and crowd-sourcing features that empower anyone with an internet browser to submit ideas and suggestions to be reviewed for potential projects.
With our Timed Challenges™ approach, organizations can brainstorm and collect ideas around focused goals and business problems. Interactive voting and commenting help to foster a collaborative community for discussing ideas and jumpstarting initiatives.
Once an idea is vetted and approved using Flagpole's review methodology, the idea can then be sent to Basecamp and denoted as an "approved" project in Flagpole. From that point on, Basecamp users can continue to develop the concept using more stringent Project Management stages.
Organizations that need to get a better handle on the "front end of innovation" have been looking to MindMatters for over a decade. Flagpole is often the first step many of them take towards full-scale Idea and Innovation Management.
As a Basecamp customer, another compelling need to integrate Flagpole is protection. Safeguarding sensitive project assets is critical, and the sooner this happens the better. By adding Flagpole, you can begin to build a repository of Intellectual Property months, or even years, earlier than what is typical in most organizations. Since our heritage is in building Intellectual Property Management systems for companies like Sony and 3M, many of these important IP concepts are baked right in.
If your organization is using Basecamp, you should absolutely try Flagpole today.
