Application Includes Benchmarking Of Product Development

Improving product-development process effectiveness, and benchmarking it against industry leaders is the aim of products and services from Integrated Development Enterprises Inc. (IDE), Waltham, Mass. IDweb 2.2 software applications help guide, manage, and integrate the product-development-stage process, project management, portfolio management, and resource allocation. Data on your company's time to market, number of products flowing from the product development pipeline, and new product profitability can then be compared with other companies in your industry and across industries. Benchmarking data is available by subscription through IDE via an arrangement with the Performance Measurement Group of Pittiglio Rabin Todd & McGrath, a management consultancy in Concord, Mass.
