Planview IdeaPlace (formerly Spigit)

Planview IdeaPlace (formerly known as Spigit before being acquired by the massive portfolio management giant Planview) is a fiercely analytical, heavily algorithm-driven platform that dominates the "Massive Scale Employee Crowdsourcing" sector. If a global bank with 100,000 employees asks for ideas to improve customer service, they will receive 40,000 terrible ideas and 5 brilliant ones. IdeaPlace uses advanced algorithms to find the 5. The absolute core differentiator of IdeaPlace is its "Crowd Science and Automated Graduation Algorithms." It doesn't rely on HR reading every idea. It uses game mechanics and complex algorithms. If an idea receives a certain velocity of high-quality votes from a diverse subset of departments, the algorithm automatically 'graduates' the idea to the next review stage, entirely eliminating human bias and manual sorting. Furthermore, because it is now part of Planview, once an idea is approved, it flows seamlessly into Planview's massive project portfolio management (PPM) software to actually be funded and executed. For massive global conglomerates that need to algorithmically sift through the noise of 100,000 employees to find the mathematical gold, IdeaPlace is a staggering powerhouse.
