A Solution for Your ESP and CIP
The employee suggestion program (ESP) is supported in all its aspects and related processes (centralized, manager/team models). The entire continuous improvement process (CIP) organization – with CIP teams, meetings, workshops, and measures – is also included. Through the "Idea Type" attribute, spontaneous ESP ideas and CIP measures can be managed differently. However, you can also change the idea type when appropriate. For example, a spontaneous idea can be redirected to the CIP team for collaboration on a solution. Or, a CIP topic that is worth a premium can be entered into the ESP process.

Premium Award Shop
target Idea Management comprises a general points account and the integration of a premium award shop.

Collaboration
target Idea Management enables collaborative work on a topic before submission, as well as an option for rating of registered ideas by all or selected employee groups. Teams can work together on ideas during the selection and decision-making process. Committee sessions can be held or prepared virtually.

Flexibility
With our concept of the idea group, our customers can implement any number of different processes with only one installation of the software. In this way, you can set up idea groups in one system in parallel that represent the different company agreements valid in different countries. The ideas are still contained in one database and are still available for search and reuse for all idea groups.

Global Support
target Idea Management expertly handles all types of date and currency formats, as well as all international character sets (Unicode). The following languages are available: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Contact us for additional languages.

Reporting
The software offers efficient reporting options using ABAP Query, an integrated graphical key figure system, and optional integration to SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse.

Important key figures are available preconfigured. Departmental comparisons with target/actual quotas can be available for all to see and graphically represented in the idea management platform.

target has implemented key figure definitions as determined by the Zentrum Ideenmanagement in Germany. Our customers are also able to automatically transfer figures required for corporate comparison to a benchmarking portal.

Mobile Idea Management
We offer idea management on iPhone and other mobile devices. Memos can be sent to smartphones with an image, a video, or an audio recording, and then synchronized with the idea data base in the SAP software.

Technology
SAP NetWeaver is the technology platform for our solution. We use the programming language ABAP exclusively. The user interfaces are based on Web Dynpro for ABAP. Installation, configuration, productive operation, and upgrades – in other words, the entire software lifecycle – is known territory for SAP customers.
