“A platform for thinking together, sharing ideas and working on concept realization” was what Magotteaux, a world-leading supplier of process optimization products and services for high-abrasion extracting industries, was looking for when they found our innovation platform Co:tunity. They had been talking to other suppliers but hadn’t found a platform that met all the requirements, especially the concept realization-part.

– At our end, we’ve already been discussing if we should add functionality covering idea realization when Magotteaux contacted us, says Trond Bugge, Director of Collaborative Innovation at Co:tunity. It was a perfect fit, we were both looking for the same thing. After some initial idea sharing over web meetings, we decided to meet for a two-day workshop covering service design and rapid prototyping in Liége, Belgium.

– We found the Co:tunity-team to be very dynamic and willing to propose a modern solution to our problem. I very much appreciated our two days with the team, where we had the chance to define our requirement and construct a mock-up of the solution. Currently we are working on implementing Co:tunity in the organization, but I’ve already received feedback from my colleagues saying it’s surprisingly easy to use, says Benjamin Deliege, project manager at Magotteaux.
