Dashboard reporting uses Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) also known as Imperial College Analytics (ICA).

The Research Output Reporting dashboard arose from consultation with Faculty Management, Research Strategy Managers, Library, Departmental Heads and Departmental Managers to provide strategic reporting on research outputs.

The data is sourced nightly from Symplectic Elements, the research information management system used to detail the publications, funding, equipment and professional activities of our researchers and faculty members, and ICIS HR, for additional staff information.

The following strategic reports are available:
