Transcript of MAP-IT! Review Meeting 5 March 2008 - Brussels MAP IT Questionnaire INNOVA/ITIDA.
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 25 March 2008 - Brussels
Questionnaire elaboration• Main objective:
– To provide a clear instrument to project partners to perform the mapping and the benchmarking exercise;
– to provide comprehensive insight into IT organisations, their ICT capabilities today and with regard to the future as well as on their interests in cooperating with European players in research projects
• Main tool for Working groups to analyse and illustrate within the National Mapping Reports aspects, such as:– State-of-the-art on R&D and innovation;
– Research strengths and weaknesses;
– Main target players (Type, geographical distribution, networks);
– technology areas most active in and countries’ research priorities;
– cooperation level of the key players in these IT fields.

Deliverable 1.4 Questionnaire template• 3 sections:
– Section A: General Information
– Section B: R&D activities
– Section C: Some quantitative data specific to your organisation
• Template completed in Month 12
• Accessible to the public at http://www.map-it-med.eu/questionnaire

MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 45 March 2008 - Brussels
Main remarks made by Reviewers• Section A: Business Areas are too in-depth
• Section B: – Business language
– Answering mask for Challenge level not informative enough
– Answering mask for Specific objective level need to provide more information on IT capabilities
– Future IT ambitions has not being paid attention to
• Section C: – Add sentence stating that not all indicators have to be answered
– Weighting of excellence criteria

Questionnaire – R&D activities (B)
• Detailed mapping related information on target players
• Questions related to Challenges and Specific objectives of the ICT Work programme
• Challenges and Specific objectives have been translated into “business language”, taking into consideration the nature of the organizations in the MED region and the capacity they have
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 105 March 2008 - Brussels

1 0 = No capability; 1 = Low capability; 2 = Medium capability; 3 = High capability
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 115 March 2008 - Brussels
Challenges – new versiona. Question/s related to Challenge 1 Pervasive and trusted network and service infrastructures This FP7 challenge concerns organizations that have ICT capacities, research interests and/or have joint projects with regional/European/international companies in the following fields: ▪ Network infrastructures ▪ Network services and software
architectures ▪ Enterprise integration and
networking of enterprises ▪ Infrastructure security ▪ Multimedia ▪ Experimental test-beds,
prototyping ▪ Critical infrastructure protection
(transportation and electricity networks)
Based on your organisation, do you have current interest and/or future plans in any of the listed fields? Yes, and I am interested in the future Yes, but I am not interested in the future No, but I am interested in the future No, and I am not interested in the future If Yes, what type of research? Basic Applied Both
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 125 March 2008 - Brussels
Questionnaire – R&D activities (B)• Answers provided for the “Challenge Level” (first
decision level):• Based on your organisation, do you have current
interest and/or future plans in any of the listed fields?– Yes, and I am interested in the future– Yes, but I am not interested in the future– No, but I am interested in the future– No, and I am not interested in the future
• Introductory question has been added, making the answering options clearer
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 135 March 2008 - Brussels
Questionnaire – R&D activities (B)• First decision level important for structuring the
questionnaire in an intelligent way, i.e.:– if these questions were not answered, the responders would not be
directed only to those areas (specific objectives - level 2) they are active in or interested in as regards the future, thus an intelligent navigation would not be possible
– responders do not have to answer to all 25 specific objectives, only the ones of interest => encouragement of filling-in the questionnaire
• Level 2 is the important answering part, Level 1 is just a tool in order to direct the organisations to their areas of activity or interest.
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 145 March 2008 - Brussels
Specific objectives – new versiona-1. Question/s related to Objective ICT-2007.1.1 The network of the future My organization 1) Participates in the standardization
effort for mobile or wireless technologies
2) Owns/controls its own infrastructure as a service provider
3) Develops/integrates/controls infrastructure for telecom companies (mobile, fixed or internet companies)
4) Develops/integrates/designs mobile networks
5) Designs/implements large scale networks
6) Develops/integrates infrastructure security systems
How many of these questions would you answer with YES?: None, None, but we are interested in the future 1-3 4-5 6 Mayor topic relevant projects you worked on (max. 3 projects): Name of the project: Brief description: Your level of participation/role in the project (e.g. research, design, development, coordination, testing, providing infrastructure): Which achievements do you want to reach in this specific IT area (new technologies, processes, etc.)? Cooperation level in this area: Local National Trans-national International
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 155 March 2008 - Brussels
Questionnaire – R&D activities (B)• Answering mask for level 2 (specific objectives):
– My organization develops/ controls/integrates systems for …. (not more than six explanations): How many of these questions would you answer with YES? => the number provides a first idea on the degree of involvement of an IT organisation in the specific area
– Mayor topic relevant projects you worked on (max. 3 projects): • Name, • Brief project description, • Level of participation/role in the project (e.g. research, design,
development, coordination, testing, providing infrastructure)=> IT players’ capability
– Which achievements do you want to reach in this specific IT area (new technologies, processes, etc.)? => understanding of the real involvement/ commitment of an organisation in the IT field, also with regard to the future.
– Cooperation level in this area (local, national, trans-national, international)
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 165 March 2008 - Brussels
Questionnaire – R&D activities (B)• Answering mask at specific objective level (level 2) changes
when the answer at level 1 is “No, but I am interested in the future”
• Two “open questions” are made:– Which achievements do you want to reach in this specific IT area
(new technologies, processes, etc.)?
– How do you plan to enter this area? Do you already have implemented steps in order to reach the goal of entering the area?
=> Future ambitions is being paid attention to, both for organisations already involved in a specific IT area and for those not involved today but interested to enter the market
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 175 March 2008 - Brussels
Questionnaire – quantitative data (C)• Selected indicators did not change
• Indicators listed in the questionnaire do not represent the final performance indicators => Indicators will be translated into useful performance indicators, representing ratios
• Calculation model applied to the performance indicators for detecting the IT performance of target players
• Statement that not all indicators need to be answered has not been inserted since the commitment of responders might be reduced and the calculation model could not be adapted efficiently
MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review 185 March 2008 - Brussels
