Strategic Technology Management and Roadmapping: Innovation Framework Technologies and nu Angle Announce Strategic Partnership

NEW YORK and CAMBRIDGE, England, May 12, 2010 - Innovation Framework Technologies, the premier supplier of software
solutions dedicated to the innovation and new product development value
chains, today announced its partnership with Cambridge based nu Angle, the
leading technology strategy and roadmapping advisor and implementer. The
partnership is focused on delivering a flexible solution to help
organizations of all sizes and industries to take advantage of strategic and
technology roadmapping best practices.

Technology strategy and roadmapping were pioneered in the chemical and
high tech industries, as ways to deal with the most critical and complex
technology planning problems. But with the explosive growth of
technology-driven innovation in other industries, such as healthcare,
automotive and consumer goods, together with the trend of open-sourced
innovation, pressure has greatly increased on organizations to improve the
planning and value of their internal and external investments in technology.

Existing approaches focus on pushing technology to market, while IFT and
nu Angle's solution uniquely combines technology strategy and roadmapping
with both technology-push and market-pull (consumer needs) analysis.

"Over the last 5 years, we have helped CTOs and innovation teams make the
right investment decisions by applying our state-of-the-art Technology
Strategy and Roadmapping methodology," said Peter Allen, nu Angle Managing
Director. "To support our customers, we have invested heavily in codifying
our approach in a bespoke Microsoft Excel application, but we have been
looking for a more scalable solution that better support our collaborative
multi-user implementations for our clients."

Recognizing the limitations of MS Excel, nu Angle identified Innovation
Framework Technologies (IFT) as the best software for enterprise-wide
innovation planning and roadmapping. IFT in turn recognized nu Angle as the
world's leading experts on technology management methods.

"From the outset, IFT's strategy has been to provide solutions that embed
best practices in innovation management. With nu Angle and IFT joining forces
to integrate nu Angle's approach into IFT's software, we continue to offer
the leading combination of software capabilities and management practices in
the market," says Patrick Ternier, IFT's CEO. "Moreover, we now have a very
flexible solution to satisfy the innovation strategic planning needs of
organizations of all sizes and industries."

With this solution, it is now possible to dynamically create technology
strategies, integrate them with development roadmaps, perform "what-if"
analyses and translate plans immediately into detailed resource and financial
forecasts. The whole solution enables collaborative working across many
locations, business units and external experts, greatly reducing the time,
cost and complexity of creating and updating technology strategy and
operational plans.

The combined nu Angle and IFT solution is available either as a
standalone module sold as SaaS, or as an in-house implementation, integrated
if needed with IFT's other Stage-Gate(R) certified modules for innovation
management, including Portfolio Management, Ideation, and Stage-Gated
Development.
