August 2010 Sponsor – Spigit

Spigit - August Blogging Innovation SponsorThank you to Spigit for sponsoring Blogging Innovation for August 2010.

Much excitement has surrounded Spigit, Inc. throughout the month of July. Earlier in the month, Spigit announced its largest growth of bookings in Quarter 2 of 2010. Spigit saw a 287% growth from this year’s previous quarter and a 308% growth compared to Quarter 2 of 2009. Further, the company’s customer base has doubled and its employee base has increased 107% since January 2010. Keeping with the theme of expansion Spigit opened a professional services office in Boulder, CO, a sales office in Washington, D.C., and expanded its headquarters in Pleasanton, CA.

Furthermore, on July 29th, the X Prize Foundation announced a $1.4 million, one-year global competition that is powered by Spigit. This competition, focuses on a current and pressing issue, and is geared toward finding new innovative solutions that will speed up the process of containing and cleaning up oil spills. This innovative platform opened on August 1, 2010 to the general public for registration. Now, teams from all across the world will be submitting new and inventive ideas to try to solve the oil spillage problems that continually progress. Spigit’s ability to extract relevant information from such a wide variety of constituents in order to solve real world problems is not only innovative; it’s invaluable.

If you are implementing innovation management software to better manage your innovation process and deliver on your innovation strategy, I encourage you to add Spigit to your consideration set. You really can’t manage innovation successfully with e-mail or paper submissions.
