Earlier this year, Motorola and strategic partner Bulldog Solutions contracted IDC to create a collection of industry-focused content centered on innovation; including trends, best practices and guidance on how enterprise and government organizations can operate more efficiently with Motorola Solutions.

Notorious for its leadership in product development and services, Motorola believed that this effort was a fundamental undertaking—one that provided its customers with relevant, non-biased content, and in turn, encouraged them to engage with Motorola products and services.

With the content creation phase complete, Motorola turned to Designkitchen and Eliason Media to create a depository that not only facilitated the user experience, but collected essential consumer data.

Together, we are proud to present The Innovation Paradox—a content-rich hub that integrates Eloqua software and a custom-built Rails CMS. Here, visitors are invited to register to gain access to premium thought leadership resources, such as white papers, implementation guides, technology and solutions briefs, and more. Through registration, Motorola captures massive quantities of detailed consumer data that aid in tailored conversations and sales leads, as well as deliver indispensable content to enterprise and government agencies.
