ICM (Industry Capability Mapping database)

ICM (Industry Capability Mapping) DB is the tool which any organisation (industrial or institutional) serious about strategic technology (and supply chain) management, should have at their disposal. It offers its user the ability to construct and manage a centralized web-based database of organizations (products and services) engaged in (or supplying in) a specific industrial sector. This invaluable asset allows SMEs, Institutions and large prime contractors alike, to better manage their strategic technology programs, reducing technological risk and allowing better-informed decision in procurement.

ICM empowers the organisation supply chain personnel with a web collaborative environment, where they can record and track evolving suppliers capabilities (including key performance indicators of products and service offering) against their own organisation long-term strategic capability and technological requirements.

The European Space Agency (ESA) currently uses ICM DB to manage key aspects of their technology program; the tool provides an up-to-date mapping of the European technological competences and capabilities offering (at National and European level), versus the ESA technology and competences requirements tree.
