RainRaker

RainRaker provides a comprehensive approach to Knowledge and
Innovation management through the use of novel social networking
and collaboration tools.

Currency of reputation	The RainRaker virtual currency, can be tied to key performance indicators, and deliver metrics on well received ideas, provides a powerful means to test their quality through the internal market place of the enterprise. The key features of the RainRaker products are that they are based on proven social networking principles, and provide incentives for participation, contribution, and peer review. This suite is based on the principle that knowledge creation, sharing and discovery will enable unprecedented innovation within the enterprise.
Knowledge capture	The RainRaker technology fosters much greater ideation and knowledge capture. Storage and retireval of the knowledge object is then easily accessed through semantic structuring which allows quick and accurate searches of ideas and concepts not just keywords or phrases. This suite can be deployed within the enterprise, or as a SaaS (Software as a Services) hosted by RainRaker on third party Cloud networks. The RainRaker products have two key components. These can be thought of as tools for pulling information, or pushing, creating and sharing of ideas. Key administrative tools also allow enterprise managers to review and encourage participation by various stakeholders including employees, suppliers, and customers. Valuable metrics on the innovation process can be tracked, traced and visualized to provide the management important insights into employee behaviour that can assist identification of talent and performance reviews. In turn these metrics are important indicators of how innovative and collaborative an enterprise is.
IP protection	In the knowledge economy, IP generation is the most valuable indicator of company wealth, and intellectual capital must be retained and grown. In a survey of executives involved in the top mergers and acquisitions in the US, 76% of the company value was attributed to intangible assets. RainRaker not only boosts innovation it also provides the measurement of previously undisclosed intangible assets and helps to identify the gap between the book value and market value of IP in the enterprise. We recognize that our customer’s want to secure all existing and generated IP behind their firewall. RainRaker facilitates this, and provides a simple track and trace knowledge transactions without recording or publicly disclosing those intangible assets. This makes RainRaker easy to implement, secure, and scalable.
