Technology Support Portals
We are often approached to provide information support to aid in the commercialization of new technologies. One means we frequently employ, is the creation of a web site specifically for the technology. This site (Portal) provides easy access to basic information surrounding the technology, relevant patents, market research information, information on firms in the field and other relevant links. Technology Support Portals (TSPs) can be hosted by us, supplied as code to be placed on your Intranet or provided on CD ROMs. TSPs empower your employees with rapid access to important information, speed up the commercialization process and result in better decisions. In today's world, that translates into better products, faster market entry, greater market share and fewer surprises.
We have created Technology Support Portals for a wide range of industries and for a wide range of needs. Some have been created specifically to provide assistance in developing a technology, others to assist in licensing the technology, others to help clients gain a greater understanding of the potential market and still others to help clients make a well informed "go-no go" decision. We have also created them to support design teams, support warranty trouble shooting teams facing technical issues, and to support many other situations including securing funding for further development. Sometimes they are created independently as a stand alone resource, other times they are accompanied by a printed report containing additional information. We often supplement them with Technology Scouting Reports to keep our clients abreast of breaking news in the field.

Links are provided below to several examples.

Our current Technology Support Portals are far more advanced than the examples above. They include direct access to documents not available online, product images, spreadsheets, databases, virtual tours, and other elements making them even more valuable to our clients. Some of our clients chose to integrate them with our Technology Scouting Reports to provide ongoing coverage of the technology. Build upon existing knowledge, don't reinvent the wheel.
