The new research area that combines a variety of interdisciplinary researches in the field of innovation in order to increase the efficiency of creating new products (New Product Development – NPD) is covered in the paper. This area was called “Automation innovation” (Computer-Aided Innovation – CAI). There is a number of various software for most functions at each stage of the life cycle of an innovative solution. And this variety becomes a barrier to the creation of the unified system for computer-aided support of innovation processes at enterprise with the aim of increasing the efficiency of creation of new products. As a result of the analysis of foreign works and software products in the automation of innovation processes the classification of computer tools of CAI is given. The prospects for further development of this direction are discussed. The annex provides a systematic list of more than 150 software products of Computer-Aided Innovation – CAI. When analysing the market the authors did not consider the branch software or unique private software solutions, and nonspecialized office software, which is not designed to support innovation processes. Thus, the analyzed pool of software consists of products available in the market. This software is designed for broad usage at enterprises.
