The Forrester Research, Inc. report Maximizing Innovation from ERP Service Providers;
noted "Companies like UST Global allow their employees to spend part of their time
in a research lab, developing use cases for new technologies – like QR bar codes
and their potential application for retail. One such application is their use as
tiny pictures on items for sale that allow shoppers to scan items at the grocery
store and then check out more quickly."

The Innovation Ecosystem in UST Global

|
"Our story of innovation at UST Global is interwoven in the spirit of democratic
and crowdsourcing approach where every employee participates. Our employees
have been driven to think afresh and contribute."
|
|
|
UST's approach to Innovation is to open the floodgates of ideas across the company,
true to our Founder Chairman (late) Mr. G. A. Menon's statement
of "we are committed to using the talents of all our people to the fullest." Our
vision is to drive revenues & profits for both our clients and for UST Global with
our innovative ideas & solutions.

Keeping these in mind, UST Global launched three innovation engines –

The Apple Tree, Make Mistakes, Break Something, And Learn!!! - An innovation
gym where USsociates are invited to experiment without fear of mistakes. It's the
“zone” where ideas can be bounced around, mistakes made, hypotheses tested, where
inquisitive minds & experienced minds can congregate. Here you can “play” with ideas,
software & systems without the restrictions of a highly regulated & secure environment.
In other words, the “garage” of UST Global !

|
|
Open Minds, Nuturing Ideas - An online internal collaboration space for USsociates
to discuss, debate, blog and share technological thoughts.
