MAXIMIZE YOUR SOFTWARE INVESTMENT AND YOUR IP PORTFOLIO

Lately, it seems as though the demands on IP programs are growing as rapidly as the resources to support those programs seem to be shrinking. At Thomson IP Management Services, we know how important it is to maximize the return on your investment in Thomson IP Manager and – more importantly – your IP portfolio. Our implementation, education and expert software professional services team can partner with you to provide a full range of support and ensure that you get the most from your investments.

Consult with our experts

Thomson IP Management Services has been helping clients manage their portfolios for nearly four decades. The professionals on our software services team have a wide range of both IP and software expertise and can help you implement and optimize your intellectual asset management system, including your IP processes and portfolio management functionality, to make the most of your investment. Examples include best practices consulting for process definition and mapping, project management, enterprise integrations and more.

Our team of experts can review your current processes to help you take full advantage of the deep functionality in Thomson IP Manager and the Process Architect. We will work with you to achieve such goals as increasing efficiency and enabling collaboration across all areas of the organization so that you can identify key innovations to get to market quickly. 

We can also perform a strategic review of your IP touch points to help you connect enterprise information systems and ensure that current, relevant information is readily available. This provides key decision makers with the information they need to collaborate and make timely, informed decisions about their IP.

Software services are especially ideal for organizations that understand the need to obtain full value from their IP; the necessity of defining, managing and enforcing IP processes; and the importance of an IP program that is integrated with business strategy. The services are also useful for organizations with IP-relevant information in multiple enterprise systems, and across multiple units and geographies.

Get up to speed fast with our implementation services

It is important to have the right knowledge and skills to fully utilize an application’s capabilities. Prior to deploying Thomson IP Manager, your team engages in an interactive implementation workshop to review the software functionality and prepare for database testing. The implementation services team then oversees your project from start to finish and works closely with you to ensure that your system is installed quickly and your portfolio details are accurate. They also provide technical support for projects that result from the best practices consulting. Additionally, the team can help you with:

• Database consolidation – whether you’re divesting assets, dealing with a major merger or acquisition, or simply moving multiple sites onto the same platform, our database experts can ease the burden on your IT staff
• Data quality – let us review your portfolio for data quality issues including key date accuracy, data errors and duplicates
• Configuration and development – leverage our development resources to configure your system, ensuring alignment with your IP processes
