SILICON VALLEY, Calif., April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Qmarkets is proud to congratulate Swiss Post and their Head of Ideation, Lorenz Wyss, as winners of the "International Award for Best Idea Management" at the 2016 Zentrum Ideenmanagement (ZI) awards.

Zentrum Ideenmanagement is a Frankfurt-based company which focuses on the promotion and analysis of trends within idea and innovation management. Every year they gather a renowned panel of international journalists and scientists to examine a selection of the best idea management projects from across the globe. This evaluation uses qualitative criteria based on the EFQM model of quality management to select companies who have achieved outstanding results in the field. The International award for best idea management which Swiss Post won is their highest honor.

While Swiss Post began as a postal service, it has since diversified to cover logistics, public transport, communication, and finance, giving it the third largest workforce in Switzerland with over 60,000 employees. In an industry like the postal service which has seen major disruption due to digital companies and services, it is crucial to take a serious approach to innovation, and this is part of the reason that Swiss Post originally invested in a new idea management platform for their employees back in 2010. Idea and Innovation Management platforms allow companies to receive and evaluate idea submissions from internal and/or external stakeholders. For this purpose Swiss Post chose to work with Qmarkets, a provider of configured enterprise-grade innovation software since 2008.

Swiss Post began their innovation initiative with a classic "German approach" to Idea Management – users who submitted ideas were rewarded with a share in the success of any submission which was then selected and implemented. However since then both customer and supplier have came a long way, with Swiss Post encountering many new challenges and discovering new requirements, and Qmarkets consequentially developing many new features and products.

Today the relationship between Swiss Post and Qmarkets represents a highly innovative and mutually beneficial customer-vendor dynamic, with both parties continuously pushing each other to expand the boundaries of Idea and Innovation Management. This factor was key to the success of Swiss Post at the 2016 ZI awards, and it also helped Qmarkets to become the only company to win three awards for excellence at the 2013 Info Tech Vendor Landscape awards.

Come Meet Qmarkets & Swiss Post

Swiss Post and Qmarkets will both be present at the Chief Innovation Officer Summit in London, on the 26th and 27th of April 2016. Lorenz Wyss, Head of Ideation at Swiss Post, will be presenting a talk entitled "Chocolate, clocks, and the postal service: Disrupting stereotypes" at 10:00AM on day 2 of the event, followed by a short talk from Qmarkets' SVP Global Solutions, Michael Stilger.
