Imperial College Analytics (ICA) is a web-based Business Intelligence tool, presenting management information to you, as a member of Imperial College London staff, via interactive role-based dashboards. The tool includes data about students, research funding, research publications, procurement and outreach activities. External information is also available from HESA, research funders and the NSS survey.

We provide technical support for ICA and its underlying software (Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition).
