Idea to Launch - New Product Development (I2L)

I2L simplifies the new product development workflow and subsequent capital budgeting for all participants.

Team members are guided through Ideation, Screening, Development, Final Business Case & Marketing Plan, and Launch - a list of stages that can be customized to your specific environment. Each stage includes a set of tasks to be completed, documentation, data fields, and approval steps. Each gate incorporates fully documented approvals that can leverage a variety of out of the box voting styles.

I2L saves your organization time and money while keeping your data easily accessible to those who need it, and locked away from those who don't. Team members only see the items they are actively working on or are responsible for, reducing the possibility of your critical growth strategies making it into a competitor’s hands.

I2L is easily adapted to meet your needs, and can seamlessly work with your other systems using Appian's low-code integration tools. The workflow structure, approvals, and permissions are configured with zero development, keeping your maintenance costs down while allowing for rapid changes to your process in order to stay ahead of the competition.

At a higher level, potential revenue and progress can be easily displayed directly on the main dashboard for at-a-glance reporting.

• Intuitive: Out-of-the-box drillable Dashboards show all information associated with products you have visibility into in one place
  • Custom reporting options are available including NPV, IRR, revenue projections, and estimated costs.
  • Tasks are automatically routed and displayed on Dashboards specific to each person. Administrators can set SLAs to communicate urgency and help everyone prioritize work.
• Integrated: Use your existing product data from SAP or other critical systems.
• Audited: Approvals are tracked and accessed in Process Performance reports, helping to provide accountability across the team.
• Configurable: Administrators can easily create and tailor product development processes to your needs, including customized stages and gates (decision points); participants, their roles, and permissions; and the decision method used to “pass” each gate.
• Secure: All users are authenticated and are only shown information for products which they are actively working on to prevent sensitive details from being exposed to competitors.
