London: Treating people as individuals, getting closer to customers and partnering to accelerate innovation are the underlying principles of Open Innovation 2.0 embodied in the Innovation application launched  on Tuesday by Sosius, a leading online collaboration and team workspace platform for SMEs and enterprises.  The release is the first in a series of advanced applications designed to help businesses quickly address their most pressing social business needs.

The Sosius Innovation application provides everything you need out-of-the-box to engage your entire community, including employees, investors, partners and customers, to identify the most important enhancements to your service.  By empowering individual spirit for team growth and recognizing your most engaged contributors you gain a critical advantage in your efforts to stay one step ahead of the competition.

“We rolled out a prototype of the Innovation application to our entire employee base 6 months ago, and almost immediately saw a sustained 10x increase in engagement on the Sosius platform.  Over 2/3 of our total headcount, across multiple departments, use the service regularly, which has resulted in it becoming a core arena for planning and idea generation.  Our staff interact on a daily basis and the Innovation application helps us identify and reward our most innovative and hard working employees.” Ben Adderley, Global IT Director, Meltwater
