Technology Scouting Must Haves 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]

Welcome to our “Technology Scouting Must Haves” . For years, businesses have had to perform Technology Scouting the same old way, with a long drawn-out, and very manual, process.

Year-over-year, we talk to hundreds of R&D and Innovation experts across multiple industries and we want to share with you what we hear, time-and-time again. Here we will introduce common pain points experts talk about often. We’ll identify the technology scouting must haves and the new solutions that exist today.

In this post we are identifying a common Must Have – Auto-Populating the user profile.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40″][vc_column_text]

1) Technology Scouting Must Have — Auto-Populating User Profile

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]

As R&D and Innovation professionals run technology scouting projects and innovation program projects, they rely heavily on their user base for several needs. This user-base engagement is often referred to as crowdsourcing within the Innovation and R&D space. Some examples of crowdsourcing needs include identifying, grouping and engaging with:

• Internal experts from within the company’s employee-base
• Subject matter experts (SMEs)
• Vendors and suppliers
• Startups and acquisition targets
• Researchers and academia

Most Technology Scouting and Crowdsourcing systems are built to capture basic information about the user. This typically happens when the user registers. The Innovation experts we talk with have shared how challenging it is to entice users to fill in their profile details.

User profile details may include the user’s background, expertise and skill set, industry knowledge, technology innovation experience, patents submitted and/or published and more.

Capturing user profile detail is easy, automated and limitless with Ezassi’s crowdsourcing and technology scouting software.

User Profile Questionnaire

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]A select group of users, also often known as a community, can be served an automated questionnaire from within the crowdsourcing platform or the questionnaire can be served to an external audience. There are multiple methods to capture profile detail and to reach your crowd.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8425″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” onclick=”custom_link” css_animation=”fadeInRight” link=”https://ezassi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Talent-Prospects-Challenge-view.png”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8447″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” onclick=”custom_link” css_animation=”fadeInLeft” link=”https://ezassi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/profile-data-capture-QA.png”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Profile Data Capture

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]Using a custom digital interview questionnaire, clients can ask any user for his or her profile detail of importance. The questionnaire builder is part of the system and has a very robust set of features. Each crowdsourcing community can have its own set of criteria.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
