Promax takes the user through 4 key steps to solving problems - Framing, Ideas Generation, Prioritization of Ideas and measuring Effectiveness of the chosen solution. It has many helpful prompts, creativity and Triz tools and over 2,000 examples of solutions. This is combined with full featured multi-criteria analysis functionality to provide a robust "record of decision" for the most difficult of problems.

This slide show lists some of the functionality available.
