Benefits of Anaqua

Successful implementation of an intellectual property (IP) management system is built on a strong partnership. Not only does the vendor need to provide best-in-class solutions, but they must also have industry and technology expertise and experience. With years of successfully implementing Anaqua’s AQX IP management platform for a diverse range of clients and their unique IP needs, Anaqua’s staff brings extensive knowledge to the table. Here are a few key factors that contribute to successful Anaqua implementations:

1. Staff Expertise with Regional Support:

Anaqua prides itself on the expertise of its personnel, which is one of the company's unique advantages, which clients appreciate. Our Professional Services team comprises over 100 project managers, business consultants, and technical consultants. With experienced staff in offices in the US, Europe, Japan, and India, Anaqua provides a local understanding of needs as well as providing coverage in all time zones. The team possesses significant experience in IP from both direct IP work and client interactions, as well as software development. This depth of industry and IP expertise allows our consultants to understand the business challenges faced by our clients and effectively apply this knowledge to assist clients in implementing new platforms.

Anaqua’s Professional Services Team understands IP challenges and concerns, and they speak software, understanding how to build and test, while also maximizing the use of data,” explains Rylan Stewart, Director, Program Management. “With that level of broad expertise, you have people to support you who can speak both to the concerns of the client leadership and to the detail needed by the client project manager.

2. Thorough Discovery Process:

At Anaqua, the discovery process begins with your initial interactions with our sales and engineering teams. We prioritize understanding your team’s current challenges and goals. By the time your company’s implementation starts, our Professional Services team will have documented these needs and identified new advantages possible within Anaqua’s AQX platform. We will explain Anaqua’s configuration methodology, data migration, and structure methodology, as well as our best practices to help you determine the optimal setup for your team.

3. IP Best Practices Built into the Platform:

The AQX platform is designed to be flexible. You can create your own workflows and processes, but you can also rely on best practice processes we’ve developed through Anaqua’s extensive work with some of the world’s leading IP corporate and legal organizations. By adopting these proven processes, you can streamline your implementation and meet your team’s needs.

4. Data Migration:

The Anaqua team has experience migrating data from common platforms and other uncommon platforms. You can rely on our expertise in guiding you along the way. Anaqua also offers Data Validation Services, which includes a combination of human effort and automation capabilities to review and analyze your data to identify and correct errors.

5. Empowering Your Team for Post-Launch Administrative Control:

The administrative menu dashboard on AQX, along with the training that Anaqua provides to admin teams to control the system after the go live date, is a key factor for success. As part of our “train the trainer” approach, we ensure that administrators know how to create their own new workflows, reports, templates, etc. to maximize the value of Anaqua on their own, without having to continually rely on Anaqua Professional Services.

We're preparing you to continue to evolve your IP program and your configurations post launch,” says Rylan Stewart, Director, Program Management “The clients that we see having the most success and excitement around Anaqua’s platform, have an administration team empowered to take control of it after going live.

6. Wide Scope of IP Software & Services:

Because Anaqua has employee teams focused on both the IP software and services front, whatever your company’s specific needs are, we have the hands-on experience to make it happen. On the Service front, this may mean integrating Patent Annuity Payment Services or Foreign Filing Services into your AQX platform. Anaqua’s wide range of IP management solutions and services means we have the flexibility to quickly meet your company’s specific needs.

7. Anaqua’s Embedded Project Management Option:

As noted above, if your internal team is short on project management time and experience, Anaqua offers a full-time Project Manager to embed with your own implementation team to lead the onboarding and post –Go-Live stabilization for all licensed Anaqua software and services.

As part of your team, the Project Manager acts as a consultant, advocate, and coordinator. Instead of bringing in an external consultant, you gain the advantage of an Anaqua expert who not only advocates for your interests but also has direct access to Anaqua’s staff and resources. This insider perspective enables faster and more effective resolution of any issues that arise during implementation.
