Brightidea has helped leading software companies find, develop and capitalize on innovative ideas and technologies.

Adobe sources user ideas for Adobe technologies in an open innovation portal powered by WebStorm. For Acrobat.com, the company collected more than 700 ideas.

IDeaS integrated WebStorm with Salesforce CRM to maintain 100% client retention and react quicker to client requests.
