// USE-CASE · RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
From first idea to patent. One working environment for your R&D.
Manage innovation, product development and research projects efficiently — with version control for every design, a knowledge base for every insight, and dashboards for every decision.
Research reports on a local drive.
Product designs scattered across three tools.
Brilliant ideas in the head of someone leaving next week.
And six months later, no idea which design was approved.
One platform. One source of truth. For every experiment.
// THE SEVEN R&D DOMAINS
One platform. Everything your R&D team needs.
From document management to idea management, from project planning to Power BI dashboards or build in the Datagrids of Ishtar365 — Ishtar365 covers every phase of the R&D process. Modular deployment, seamless integration with your Microsoft 365.
Document management
Research reports, designs, test results and patents. Version control, metadata and intellectual property protection.
Project management
Tight planning, milestones, resources and collaboration. Timelines that stay visible, collaboration that doesn't fragment.
Task management
Assign research tasks with deadlines and priorities. Manage experiments and tests, with results and findings recorded.
Integration & Automation
Connection to external databases and research tools. Recurring tasks (status updates, reports) fully automated.
Dashboards & Reporting
All data in your own Microsoft tenant — directly addressable via Power BI for real-time insight into projects and performance.
Knowledge base
Store research findings, best practices and innovation ideas. Searchable, shareable — so knowledge stays, even when people move on.
Idea management
Submit, evaluate and select new ideas that may lead to R&D projects. Innovation becomes structural, not accidental.
Time tracking
How many hours went into this experiment? Which phase cost most? Directly linked to project and task.
// THE STRONGEST POINT
Linking documents to tasks. And to projects. And to ideas.
"A brilliant idea has value. But linked to the experiment that proved it, the project that developed it, and the patent that resulted from it — that's when it becomes an innovation process. That's when you build structurally toward future breakthroughs."
- Idea → experiment → project → patent in one click-through flow
- Every document automatically linked to its task and project
- One click on a researcher shows everything they're working on
- When a team member leaves: all knowledge remains available
- AI-ready: structured data ready for Copilot & Power BI
For your knowledge: Ishtar365.
An R&D team is only as strong as its collective memory. Research insights, failed experiments, smart solutions — preserved, searchable and ready for AI search via Copilot.
// DASHBOARDS & INSIGHTS
Your R&D data, on your tenant. Directly in Power BI.
All data generated in Ishtar365 stays on your own Microsoft tenant. No external silo, no vendor lock-in. Power BI pulls it directly — so you can build dashboards that show exactly what your R&D team needs.
- Full ownership: data stays on your M365 tenant
- Power BI integration, no intermediate layer
- Real-time insight into project progress and resource use
- Idea funnel, experiment success rate, patent pipeline
Innovation becomes structural.
One working environment for every idea, every experiment, every project and every patent. Modular deployment, managed without consultants, built on your own Microsoft 365.
