Who is the intended user of Acclaim Products?
Acclaim Products is designed by product and innovation people for product and innovation people. We understand the variety of roles a product person takes on throughout the course of their week plus the various responsibilities they have to the business, their teams, and their customers. And they use a variety of tools that are designed for other purposes, i.e., product development tools, project management tools, spreadsheets, etc.
We are here to change that. If you deal with managing the health and wellbeing of a product or product portfolio, you will find value in Acclaim Products.
Today’s product people need a tool that will enable them and their products to reach their highest potential. That’s why we built Acclaim Products.
I already have a lot of tools, what integrations are available in Acclaim Products and how will they benefit me?
