Demand Management

How it works:

• Easy creation of new work requests and ideas making the tool easy to access for all levels of users and thereby removing all barriers to capturing ideas from anywhere in the organization. 

• Powerful, quick categorization capabilities. Items can be tagged in any number of different ways allowing for appropriate categorization, consolidation of related requests and the elimination of duplicate items.  

• Intuitive collaboration tools that allow for ideas to be shared and worked on across multiple people, offices, locations, etc. This helps to break down the organizational and physical barriers that can easily prevent good ideas from being considered simply through a lack of visibility and refinement.  

• Logical development. Additional work elements can be tied to ideas allowing a simple submission to evolve through analysis, business casing and benefits assessment with all of the work still being tied to the original submission.  

• A useful feature lets users put a project request in an "intermediate approval" status, so that exploratory work, resource assignments and cost tracking can begin.
