We at Viima believe that the idea management process should be engaging, fun, and effective!
Idea management is done right when it brings immediate positive results to the team and benefits the whole organization. Working is no longer limited to time or place and we are constantly trying to find new, more effective, and creative ways to work individually and together with our teams.
Microsoft SharePoint is an intranet where internal and external stakeholders can share information and utilize professional networks. SharePoint recently quit supporting its Ideas&Votes feature, which already had some limitations when it came to supporting an integrated idea management process.
While SharePoint is a great tool for sharing information, alone it fails to capture tacit knowledge and to engage team members in a continuous, structured, and result-oriented ideation process.
Luckily, Viima's idea management solution integrates with SharePoint and other Office 365 collaboration tools, providing you with an effective tool for managing your ideas.
Here is what Viima can do for SharePoint users
Seamless integration with SharePoint
Viima integrates seamlessly with SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-Premise.
Access Viima directly from SharePoint and capture the ideas of the crowd in one secure place. In SharePoint, more people can join the ideation process and you can see the real-time activities in SharePoint by embedding your Viima activity feed as a widget. This helps you and your team to be on top of the progress of each idea.
Embedding a Viima board to SharePoint is a great way to add visibility to your board. You can embed Viima as a web part to a new or already existing page by selecting an embed element. All your admin needs to do is copy and paste desired board's Iframe-based code to the new web part.
Each team, business unit, or project group can embed its own Viima board into SharePoint. Based on the user settings, you can invite external stakeholders to view your board, and if they want to contribute to ideation by commenting or evaluating ideas, they can do so by using Office 365 Single Sign-On. Direct people to your board by linking to it and collaborate effectively in one integrated platform!
Integrate Viima with Yammer
Keep up with what's new
In addition to seamless integration with such tools as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, you can integrate Viima with Yammer.
With Microsoft Yammer, you are able to collaborate and stay connected with your network and colleagues anytime anywhere. Integrate Viima with Yammer and get real-time notifications about the latest ideas and updates to your Yammer feed.

Idea management is a part of both existing processes and cultural change. Organizations should focus on fostering innovation in applications people use the most.
