Doosan Bobcat North America Awards Sopheon Innovation Contract

Innovation Market Warms Up to Software-as-a-Service

MINNEAPOLIS – September 10, 2018 Sopheon, a global leader for enterprise innovation management solutions, announces that it has received a contract from Doosan Bobcat North America to deploy its Accolade® software enterprise wide. This award represents additional evidence that the market is beginning to accept the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for management of innovation processes and decision support.

In spite of significant interest in the benefits of SaaS deployments, large organizations have been slow to move their innovation activities into the Cloud. A growing number of recent new client acquisitions by Sopheon, however, have opted for Sopheon’s SaaS solution. One such customer, Doosan Bobcat, whose software implementation went live just last month, selected Sopheon’s Accolade software as the solution of choice to manage the company’s portfolio of projects across a number of corporate groups. Doosan Bobcat purchased a software-as-a-service cloud solution over purchasing licenses in perpetuity and installing the software on premises.

“We chose to partner with Sopheon on this initiative as they offered the best solution to help us maximize the performance of a range of critical business processes. Sopheon’s software will enable us to better align our people and investments with our strategic and financial goals.” said Twila Perhus, Director of Global IT PMO.
