SCM Group – a major global industrial technology organization – has announced the successful deployment of Qmarkets innovation management software across their workforce. Their objective: to boost employee engagement and create a culture where value-driving ideas are continuously generated, evaluated, and implemented.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rimini, Italy, March 6th, 2019 – <\/strong>To amplify industrial innovation on a company-wide basis, SCM Group<\/a><\/u> has implemented the \u2018flex\u2019 edition<\/a> of Qmarkets\u2019 Q-ideate <\/u>innovation management platform<\/a>. SCM Group, a technological world-leader in material processing machinery and industrial components, will use the platform to collect, review, and refine ideas submitted by over 4000 employees across 5 continents.<\/p>\n

SCM Group\u2019s decision to drive innovation with Qmarkets resulted from a highly-successful pilot with the software in 2018.

After assessing a number of other innovation management platforms, Qmarkets was selected to engage a wider audience. This decision was influenced partly by the platform\u2019s market-leading array of self-admin tools. The flexibility afforded by these tools will allow SCM Group to adapt their platform ad-hoc to the evolving requirements of an industrial innovation company.<\/p>\n

The need to establish seamless accessibility, as well as simplify the process of communication and collaboration, also informed SCM Group\u2019s decision to choose Qmarkets. The organization utilized Qmarkets\u2019 Google G-suite integration <\/u><\/a>capability to give users SSO access across all devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were looking for a user-friendly, accessible, and versatile innovation platform that would permit the easy onboarding of our global workforce.\u201d said Federico Ratti, Innovation Director at SCM Group. \u201cQmarkets offered the best innovation management solution for our requirements, and the attention we received from their staff allowed us to support our ongoing innovation objectives with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
