With the advent of the internet, accessing reliable information has paradoxically become increasingly complex, given its sheer volume and multifaceted nature. While decision-makers need a clear and concise overview of a given environment, analysts, intelligence gatherers, and managers must navigate blindly through a mass of unstructured information to identify the subtle signals hidden within it.

In this context, it appears essential to equip oneself with the right tools to facilitate monitoring and analysis work and thus make the right decisions, with full knowledge of the facts.

This is precisely the purpose of TKM Plaftorm, a multi-source monitoring and analysis software platform designed to provide concrete tools for strategic decision-making.

Discover the power of this tool.

TKM PLATFORM: AT THE HEART OF TKM'S PURPOSE

The company TKM was created in 2003, following several observations that have only intensified since then:

Avec l’avènement d’Internet l’accès à l’information a été rendue extrêmement aisé.
Mais en corollaire le volume d’informations à analyser explose.
La veille doit désormais être menée à l’échelle mondiale : technologie, innovation, marchés, concurrents et partenaires.
Les domaines scientifiques et techniques se décloisonnent : le nombre de thématiques à analyser augmente y compris hors de mes domaines de compétence habituels

At the same time, economic cycles are accelerating and companies have to make decisions faster and faster.

C’est dans ce contexte que TKM, spécialiste de l’ingénierie de l’information technique, des états de l’art, de la veille et des stratégies de propriété intellectuelle a mis au point une plateforme (historiquement une suite logicielle dont IPMetrix).

Designed to analyze large datasets, this platform can process data from all available and relevant sources worldwide: patents, scientific publications, theses, research projects, and more broadly, all information available on the web. The analyses it enables will inform strategic decision-making processes related to innovation.

THE 3 NEEDS THAT TKM PLATFORM ANSWERS

In a sequence of processing massive and voluminous information, IPMetrix was designed to meet 3 distinct needs encountered by its customers.

#1 Overcoming the heterogeneity of data sources

Scientific and technical information (patents, scientific articles, theses, collaborative projects, etc.), economic information, company databases, web articles…

La première fonction de TKM Platform est de ramener dans un format commun des informations en provenance d’une multitude de sources hétérogènes. Sans cette première brique, l’analyste serait contraint de mener autant d’analyses qu’il existe de sources de données. Alors qu’avec TKM Platform, il est possible de réunir sur un sujet donné toute l’information utile, indépendamment de sa source, son origine, son format ou sa langue. Les éventuels doublons sont identifiés et éliminés.

You then gain access to a common knowledge base, from which it will be possible to conduct a single strategic analysis.

#2 Giving meaning to a knowledge base

Who are the key players in this field? What are the major themes and the stakeholders involved? What are the trends, emerging technologies, and their level of maturity? Who is doing what, and with whom? Who are the experts and opinion leaders to interview? Which organizations are at the forefront, and which startups are potential partners?

 These are the kinds of questions that the analysis performed by TKM Platform can answer. Semantic and statistical analyses, mapping, data visualization… You can even use it to identify new markets and your future customers.

La plateforme fournit un ensemble d’outils permettant à l’utilisateur de commencer à construire en quelques heures un premier niveau d’intelligence sur le domaine qui l’intéresse et qu’il découvre. Ces analyses construites à l’aide du module “Analysis” permettent de nourrir votre veille et vos décisions mais aussi de détecter des pistes d’innovation bien plus créatives et diversifiées que lors d’un travail classique et non outillé d’idéation.

#3 Capitalize on and collaborate around your intelligence

Too often in companies, competitive intelligence is conducted in a decentralized manner: everyone works in isolation. When one of its employees leaves, the company risks losing this knowledge, which constitutes a genuine intangible asset that it has nonetheless invested in.

At best, an Excel file remains containing all the research done over the years. In other words, this knowledge base is highly unlikely to be used by successors, who will be forced to start from scratch.

Pour éviter cet écueil, TKM Platform été conçue pour centraliser toute l’information issue du travail de veille, afin qu’il soit réellement possible de capitaliser dessus.

Real-life example: Upon joining the company, the new industrial property director of a large group has access from his dashboard to all the R&D projects undertaken by his new colleagues over the past 10 years! This saves an incredible amount of time and allows him to immediately engage in discussions with the teams without wasting time on either side.

Marketing department, process team, purchasing department,... everyone can find something of interest in it.

Outil collaboratif, TKM Platform permet d’animer une communauté mixte autour d’une base de connaissances commune. Les différents collaborateurs concernés peuvent ainsi rebondir sur telle ou telle initiative, tel produit ou telle fiche start-up, grâce à un système de tags et de partage de documents facilité.

Ainsi, déployer TKM Platform permet non seulement de favoriser la collaboration en temps réel, mais aussi de capitaliser sur un actif immatériel qui durera bien au-delà de la trajectoire des différents collaborateurs au sein de l’entreprise.

THREE EXAMPLES OF USE CASES WHERE THE USE OF TKM PLATFORM WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

As an expert in your field, you know that the key to your success lies in your ability to innovate. To reduce your uncertainties, you need reliable and objective data.

L’outil d’analyse et de capitalisation doublé de l’expertise de TKM vous aidera à avoir une vision détaillée de votre environnement technologique et concurrentiel, afin que vous preniez les bonnes décisions.

A true aid to informed decision-making, TKM, in addition to offering you the TKM Platform, can indeed take care of all the laborious tasks inherent in monitoring, so that your employees can fully devote themselves to their area of ​​expertise.
