Colbrain Idea Management runs natively on the Microsoft SharePoint platform and is designed to integrate with and leverage many of the features and capabilities of SharePoint, including the SharePoint security model, administration, data, and other core platform functionality.  If you already use SharePoint, this means that you can use your existing tools, training, and skills to administer Idea Management, and also leverage your existing portals, team sites, project sites, applications, and data.  This significantly lowers your total cost of ownership, and reduces the cost, risk, and complexity associated with our Idea Management solution.
