The Optiva Application Platform includes the following modules, allowing you to design the perfect solution for your enterprise.
Optiva Innovation Engine
At the heart of Optiva is the Innovation Engine. This is the core of the system and it includes a tightly integrated research and development system, a highly optimized, structured knowledge base, workflow and business process management, with capabilities for global organizations including security, and multilingual and multi-currency capabilities. The Optiva Innovation Engine also supports formulation, materials development and package and process definition, such as labeling.
Optiva Compliance Design
Optiva Compliance Design includes all aspects of design and optimization, ensuring that the company`s overall goals for product development are met. These goals include internal organizational standards for product excellence, the overall market acceptance and ability of the product to effectively meet market demand, the cost and margin targets for the product to be profitable and the manufacturability of the product.
Optiva Analytics
Embedded within the Optiva application, Optiva Analytics allows companies to monitor and evaluate products without the additional step of moving information to an alternative database. As the information is entered into the database it is evaluated and reported in a digestible format for the user.
Optiva Program Design
Optiva Program Design includes tightly integrated project and process automation capabilities. Optiva provides context-sensitive and role-based workflows that speed the flow of information throughout the product development process. This information can then be automatically funneled into an automated Stage Gate, Phase Gate or Design for Excellence Process, to facilitate better decision-making and prioritization.
Optiva Bill of Information
Optiva Bill of Information (BOI) provides a very broad and comprehensive view of what is required from R&D and what other groups require from R&D to produce cost effective, compliant products. Specifically, the BOI addresses formulas and recipes, material requirements, manufacturing and handling instructions, package and labeling requirements. In addition, reports on the information can be automatically generated online, in hard copy, or exported to different systems. The information can be organized to support the needs of retailers, the operations department, procurement, or any other divisions.
