    • Processing, sorting, evaluating and scoring ideas.

    I honestly cannot recommend this tool enough. Opal is such a valuable tool for brand content creators and there is nothing like it available. If you're serious about content marketing and have a need to find ways to collaborate, plan and provide more visibility among teams, then Opal really is the only way to go. One more thing that's not being mentioned: The tool is simply amazing but it's only as amazing is the team behind the tool. Their customer support and willingness to quickly be in touch when needed is a key feature within itself. Seriously, such a good team of people.

    Pros
    Hype Innovation
    • Hype Innovation allows for a full onsite implementation behind a firewall and does not need to communicate to an external server. This is a major advantage for a defense company.
    • Hype Innovation is easily configurable by a systems admin with very limited knowledge of the product.
    • Product Updates are rolled out quarterly and offered to all clients.
    • Hype Innovation has a specific instance of their Hype software platform that is aimed at their clients and improving Hype itself. Feedback from their management is very quick.

    • Content planning: you can look at one asset and see how it is being used across multiple channels by multiple teams.
    • Content collaboration: it is really easy to see what other people and teams are contributing to an asset, or how they are using it. We can also duplicate content that was created by another team to use as a starting point in our own content collaboration.
    • High level/big picture overview: Opal allows us to see content that is being created, planned and scheduled very easily; it goes beyond social content (which we can also see in Sprinklr) to show us content created across multiple channels.

    Cons
    Hype Innovation
    • The concepts and projects module requires an overhaul to be more flexible. This is on their product roadmap.
    • The software would benefit from the addition of an MS Exchange integration for receiving idea e-mails.
    • Customisation of the layout and possible custom components is challenging.

    OPAL
    • No publishing capabilities, for the most part.
    • No analytics tie-ins.
    • Rather pricey.
    • Requires someone to really manage the structure in order to keep the tool organized and use it effectively. When this is done right, though, it's worthwhile.

    Alternatives Considered
    Hype Innovation
    After evaluating numerous idea management and innovation management platforms, the main reasons we chose Hype Innovation were:
    • On-premises installation (Viima did not allow this);
    • Cost (Viima and IdeaDrop had substantially higher costs for the amount of users we required);
    • Ease of Configuration (Viima was easiest to configure, but IdeaDrop was a challenge.);
    • Customer Service (From initial contact to roll-out was 5 weeks).

    Return on Investment
    Hype Innovation
    • Longstanding issues with products and services have been made visible to the wider company and many solutions have been identified.
    • A common idea management platform has allowed management to gauge the level of employee involvement and cross functional communication.
    • Safe storage and archiving of ideas has enabled the company to keep track of inputs over time and refer back to ideas that were not relevant at the time of generation.
    • The added workload of managing the innovation platform has meant that more money has had to be spent on the individual responsible for the platform.

    • Opal allows for more discipline in marketing as teams are better aligned on messaging and big moments.
    • Opal cuts down on communication breakdowns and mistakes, which in the end leads to more happy customers.
    • I think Opal provides the team with more confidence as everyone is on the same page. With everything in one place rather than communications being lost in emails, etc., everyone is more efficient and can work knowing that there is one source of truth.
