Some more great news for the idea management software industry -
according to the latest Gartner "hype cycle for emerging technologies", Idea management is here to stay!
As you can see in the below chart, it is ranked as "2-5 years until mainstream adoption", along side with the very popular social software & wikis.
That's a good crowd to be in, no doubt about it...
Thanks to Midas Oracle for this great tip...

This is something we should have done a long time ago, but better late than never.
We have just finished the translation of our site to hebrew, and are ready to start the promotion of our software in Israel as well.
We initially "neglected" our home country audience (sorry guys), in order to focus our efforts on the main market.
But now we have enough resources to address the Israeli market as well.
Israeli new year is coming soon (end of September), so this is probably a good time to start...
In case u know hebrew - check it out - http://www.qmarkets.co.il
Wish us luck...

It has been a while since we last wrote in our blog.
We promise to revive it now - so keep reading...
We are happy to announce the launch of our Qmarkets innovation suite, that allows companies to involve their employees throughout the entire innovation process, from the ideas conception stage to choosing the best product to develop.
It enables company employees to submit new ideas, create an online interaction to enhance these ideas, and eventually help management decide which idea should become a product.
It is a combination of two modules:

Hi All,
It has been a while since we last updated our blog, as we were busy with stabilizing our site, and adding lots of new cool features.
Well - now that part is over with, and we are happy to say - QMARKET IS LIVE!
So - we'd like to thank all the people that helped us by trying us out, giving us great feedback, and helping debug the site.
And now we move on to the next stage - bringing real live traffic to the site.

This is all very exciting - we have launched our Alpha version of the Qmarket platform!
Graphic design is still far from being final, but most of the functionality we had planned for first version is already there and working.
In parallel, we continue our internal testing, and are finalizing the look & feel of the site.
We're not really doing anything active to promote the site at this point, so it is more of a friendly-user trial with friends & colleagues.
Real site launch coming soon - by end of August - stay tuned...
Noam,

When a company decides to run internal prediction markets, giving employees the opportunity to trade, it is important to perform this process wisely.
The company’s management has to be very precise in explaining the targets of these markets to employees, and showing them exactly how will they be used in the overall process of making a decision.

For the past several years prediction markets experts have been working hard to apply prediction markets for business purposes. One such application is using the markets to allow companies to perform very specific market research in a matter of days.
So – how does it work?

We are delighted to have our initial site up and running!
Yes, at this point it is just a static site, without our real Prediction Market Platform working, but you have to start somewhere…
Our main site is currently under last stages of development, and should be ready to work, after an internal Beta stage (amongst friends & family), sometime in the late Summer.
Meanwhile, we offer some resources & tutorials to the Prediction Market world, and our very own blog.
