Introduction List of attendees
Innovation is essential to business growth. BCG Study: 64% rated innovation as one of top 3 priorities essential to business growth. (paragraph 3)No surprise – Companies that innovate; outperform their peers. (paragraph 2)But without the right information guiding you towards a decision; a successful outcome is not assured.
You have a lot of business challenges; need to get up to speed quickly in an area you’re unfamiliar with. Continuously seek new bus. Opportunities. Get to market smarter & faster. BCG study shows – lots of obstacles. However, the top 2 are risk averse culture and lengthy development times. We can’t change your culture but can increase your confidence you are making a better bet on your projects so that the risk is mitigated closer to a go/no go decision. We can also support efforts in the dev. Cycle by getting you through the UP FRONT process more effectively
Front end process is a critical stage. A front-end decision on which projects and opportunities the company should pursue – before the company commits extensive resources to a project is critical. So choosing the right direction imperative. You want to get to the delivery stage ahead of your competition and prove the ROI of your strategy – but you want to be confident that you are getting on the right track first – to avoid an increased risk and cost later on
However, this requires the right info. Our customers have told us that they need to explore all relevant sources of info early on; yet the information universe is exploding.
Researchers are now spending even more time searching and gathering information. What they should be spending time on is the analyzing and applying of that information towards their projects.
Talk here about how they are already paying for this information… This slide begins to set the stage now to get the audience thinking about how they will fund i8. They are already spending money on these things: Consultants especially are very expensive and if they could save just a portion of what they are spending on consultants it could easily fund i8. Even if i8 could make the Consultants and/or the info they provide more effective, it would have a beneficial impact on the bottom-line. These current methods they are using can be resource intensive, can take a lot of time and have unpredictable outcomes Outsell Report 2009 (March) An Outsell report in 2009 shows that your ‘colleagues’ indicate that 69% of them feel these current methods are much less valuable then ever before.
Self explanatory – Case in point from a chemical customer: You need to be more effective at getting the information you need so that your decisions are better informed. Exploration work done up front is about trying to understand is there an unmet need, what are people doing right now to try to address the unmet need? Does you company have any technology or business that might apply to be able to meet this need? The goal when working on projects that require effective searching is to try to quickly get an answer.
In a rapid summary overview, it presents more relevant insights, faster. The unique category of results applies almost a commercial of a technology or attribute or issue – by presenting the categories in a very simple yet powerful landscape. This enables you to start exploring new markets and technologies instead of looking for the information. You can start to analyze the results – get a sense of who and what are already involved, make connections between products and companies, etc…see trends… Use this quote from chemical company: “The way illumin8 arranges its data such as you can click on it I would say it saves you easily a half day’s worth of work doing it the way I had been doing it in the past. “ Triggers your insights and analysis to begin….
i8 takes the first touch of all that content and reads it for you so you can focus much more quickly on the info you’re interested in… This gives you a sense of the breadth of integrated content sources of information used in illumin8. The actual product demo will be the best opportunity to really show it in action – get underneath the hood and explore what we’re doing to make the results set so unique

Our customers have successfully used illumin8. Case – Technical Leader used illumin8 to determine if there is a potential for using super fruit extracts in segments they currently don’t use it for. Used illumin8 to learn about how other companies are currently using super fruits. Identify whether they could use it in a similar way. Was able to make connections between the science behind the technology and the commercial potential for it.

Keywords- Traditional “Keyword” search tools deliver any and all records where the terms shows up… be it useful or meaningful data or not. All they can do is find a term. Entities- There are some “Text-Mining” tools that take it a step further and are fairly good at extracting “entities” – (organizations, products and more specialized terms) Solution and Relationship Extraction- illumin8 delivers even more- “Solution” and “Relationship” extraction. Now you can see a Company , that provide a Product , which employ a Technology , that solves a Problem and provides this Benefit !
