We have been designing, hosting, and managing Open Innovation portals since the mid-2000s. By hosting your portal through yet2, you benefit from a third-party hosted portal that ensures no confidential information will ever be stored on your servers or reviewed by your teams.
Led by a dedicated yet2 portal coordinator and Open Innovation consultant, our submission management workflows ensure every external submission to your organization will be received and reviewed first by yet2.
We will filter out submissions that are not relevant to your organization and technical needs and scrub all submissions of confidential information before passing on to you and your teams the submissions that are truly promising, greatly saving your team’s time and resources.
Yes, during the design process, our designers will work with your teams to create a portal with a look and feel that closely matches your corporate styling guidelines. We have ready-to-go content and submission form templates available but can also work with your teams to customize content and copy to meet the needs of your stakeholders.
Overall, we work closely with your teams during design, development and implementation to launch a portal that meets your organization’s needs while developing a portal user experience that is intuitive and easy to use for external submitters.
