Case Study: Costain Group improves innovation roadmapping and collaboration with SharpCloud

Meet SharpCloud for Innovation Pathfinder Phil Pitman from Costain

Costain Group, a smart infrastructure solutions company serving the UK’s energy, water, transportation and defence sectors, needed a digital way to support innovation and technology roadmapping for an InnovateUK-funded project. The team wanted a collaborative environment to curate information remotely, link related projects and documents, and reduce manual administration while keeping data easy to access and use.

SharpCloud provided the platform for roadmapping, ideation, story development, relationship mapping, resource allocation, commenting, and voting. With SharpCloud, Costain can run collaborative workshops, present transparent roadmaps to clients and stakeholders, and maintain a single source of truth for innovation data. The company expects improved efficiency, time savings, and better stakeholder engagement, and has already built a new client service offering around SharpCloud-based roadmapping.
