Innovation Management Platform for Aeronautics (Innovation Platform)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The aim of the proposed project is to develop a software-based innovation management platform founded on structured and precise innovation management processes in order to: generate, assess, define and schedule industrial innovation projects which will lead to step changes in aeronautics. To continuously capture and maintain knowledge output of innovation processes, a regularly accessible database will be integrated into the platform. The platform will be web- and work-flow based and developed by the latest Microsoft .NET and SQL Server technologies. The project consortium consists of innovation and aviation experts from Altran (co-ordinator), Altran NEO, Micos, Carl Zeiss, and EADS. Upon reaching the innovation process chain and the corresponding IT platform development milestones, a real-case process will be launched to apply the IT platform to current challenges of the aeronautics sector in order to generate, assess, track, and – in long-term – implement resulting step changes, leading to increased competitiveness of the European aeronautics industry. Hence, the project target is to keep innovation leadership in Europe by enhancing sustainable innovation - based on a mix of incremental and breakthrough changes –enabled by the newly developed innovation platform and modern, systematic innovation management methods. The benefits of the platform will be: business process integration, increasing innovation efficiency (goal-oriented, systematic and model-based approach), fostering continuous and process-flow based collaboration, and establishing a database to efficiently manage knowledge. The IT platform will be incorporated at industrial partners as well as provided to selected universities by constantly involving researchers / specialists from within and outside the aeronautics sector. Dissemination of reports to specific target groups (universities, research institutions in aeronautics and industrial partners) will result in the active spread and use of platform.
