About EOI
Enterprise Open Innovation is an open online platform ideally suited to open and transparent business strategies such as Gov2.0, Challenge-based open call competitions and access to talent in the cloud. Underlying EOI is the concept of broadcast search that connects domain experts and idea generators through collaborative platforms that feature new approaches to solve complex business and social challenges that would be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve traditionally. At TopCoder, EOI is enabled via a member community of over 400,000 digitally creative people who participate through well-honed processes for the creation of innovative digital products and services for a growing high-profile client base and their customers and constituents. Content, assets, applications and analytics are combined to produce outstanding results for customers. Value chains are supported through collaborative co-creation and the re-use of digital assets where the consumer of a downstream asset may be the producer of an asset used upstream. Projects developed using EOI also share the appropriate metrics, measurement, intellectual property controls and security that drive faster time to market along with the benefits of economies of scope and scale.
By coupling internet communities with robust search methodologies, incentives and process, EOI has changed the concept of open collaboration and in support of innovation. By breaking a large project previously developed by one person into a series of specialized subprojects performed by an online community of many highly talented individuals, the enterprise can realize significant improvements in quality, speed, and cost. As a result, repeatable, sustainable innovation can be woven into the fabric of an organization.
