The leading Innovation Management Solution expands enterprise integration and welcomes new EVP of Sales Don Morrison

San Francisco, CA, March 23, 2017 – Spigit, the world’s leading provider of innovation management software, today announced its most powerful product release yet. Spigit’s Spring 2017 release offers its customers greater and expanded enterprise integration capabilities along with a unique ability for executives to now track the value of a portfolio of ideas that drive company innovation, along with enhanced reporting and analytics. Also, Spigit today announced the appointment of Don Morrison as Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales. Morrison has a stellar track record as a global technology executive, with more than 20 years of experience at ForeSee and GMAC.

Spigit adds enterprise-class integrations with Rest API
With the Spring 2017 release, Spigit now offers a Rest API for any customer to leverage. Spigit customers can now seamlessly integrate their idea pipeline and innovation process in Spigit with enterprise or a department-specific application like social communities, PLM, project management software, ERP, and others. Spigit’s new Rest API can pull the best ideas from Spigit into a variety of complementary technologies such as rapid prototyping software and concept development tools and to accept ideas from any enterprise collaboration tool such as Slack, Jive, Yammer, Outlook, and others.

New innovation portfolio dashboard for managing the value of innovation within the enterprise
Spigit has added innovation portfolio value tracking and reporting to its unique business analytics capabilities. Teams can now keep track of the value of their innovation pipeline as the number of contributors and ideas grow in a crowdsourced and collaborative innovation program. Spigit customers will now have the ability to track and report the projected business value – such as time, cost, revenue – of their innovation pipeline across all business units in a centralized dashboard.

Don Morrison joins Spigit as EVP Worldwide Sales
