Aptimise serves clients by continuing to create competitive advantage using three strategic tools:

Innovation – development of inventive new products, new methods and technology

Intellectual Property – protection of intellectual assets – patents & people

Operational Excellence – maximum profitability from operations

To deliver lasting competitive advantage for their clients, Aptimise uses tools such as TRIZ, Six Sigma, and Lean Management to create the innovative solutions. Aptimise builds company value as intellectual asset managers and patent engineers, supplying the technical development skills to feed the R&D pipeline for the intellectual asset managers and patent engineers.

Located in Fort Wayne, IN, Aptimise has clients throughout the world. In late 2007, Aptimise formed an alliance with Ideation International, the leading developer of TRIZ technology. Aptimise is now a national distributor of I-TRIZ products for Inventive Problem Solving.

In 2008, Aptimise acquired a manufacturing arm PCC specializing in fiberglass composites. Aptimise has applied the whole toolkit of competitive advantage to PCC: reducing the original manufacturing footprint to 39% of its original size which allowed diversifing products and quadrupling of sales volume, and generating a patent portfolio having over a dozen patent filings since 2008.Aptimise is now outlicensing and monetizing the intellectual assets as well as managing the technology transfer.
