At Beta Innovations, we believe that proper product specification and development planning helps to control overall project costs and to assure on-time delivery. New technologies by themselves are not necessarily sufficient for a successful product introduction. Successful products need to be perceived by the customer to meet one or more unmet need:
- Provides research data that has previously been unattainable
- Provides a function that is faster or higher quality than competitive approaches
- Is substantially cheaper
All of this needs to happen without disrupting a laboratory's workflow, and with products that are sensitive to space and utility limitations.
Technology discovery groups frequently are not skilled product development professionals, nor should their talents be diverted away from the discovery process. In addition to our skill at developing innovative new products, we are former laboratory researchers too. So, from first-hand experience, we can effectively bridge the information gaps between new technology groups and engineering design groups, marketing teams, etc.
