Collaboration software

Hi All,

I found this software called "Employee Suggestion Box" which is being marketed as an online collaboration suite. It consists of 4 components - Idea Center, Opinion Polls, Brainstorming Forums and finally Project Center. Employees of a company can be encouraged to use this online software to bring an idea to fruition from the grassroots level. They can use the idea center module to put forth a concept (anonymous option is also available!) Management can sift through several ideas to identify the most promising ones. Opinion polls are used to generate discussion among all employees in the company regarding an idea. Brainstorming Forums are used to collect feedback and suggestions for implementing the idea and finally Project Center is used to collaboratively manage the projects that employees themselves have come up with.

Thus, management can encourage employees to create a concept, bring it to life and even actively manage its execution.
