Create a database of faculty's skills and match it with the innovative needs of local firms The detailed surveys of both university research teams and innovative firms conducted by the team at IESA-CSIC reveal that there are already a substantial number of university researchers
One mechanism to accomplish this might take the form of creating an integrated database of faculty research
The IESA-CSIC surveys might even provide the preliminary basis for constructing such a database
Once they have begun to use the database to link researchers up with firms in need of their expertise
as RETA could use the process of building both the database of expert skills in the universities
In this respect, RETA could play an important role by building up together with OTRI a faculty skills database that could be matched with the existing dataset of=innovative needs‘of Andalusia firms.
and could indeed be matched with another database collecting the skills of university faculty members so as to ease knowledge transfer between HEIS and firms, including of small size.

The maintenance of database is also an important point to consider when implementing such a solution.
The former transport management solution used by AIT was based on a unique database which with the time grew
The new solution is composed of three databases. There is one operating database, where the data for one year is stored to optimise the respond times of the system.
Another database contains all data elder than one year and a third database contains all information for the infocentre,
allowing providing the Business figures and analysis. It is very important to consider the correct maintenance of the databases including cleaning the data,
extracting the data from the operating database to keep the response time of the system optimised.
The outsourcing of the solution to a data-centre may represent a major advantage for SMES since the solution is managed by specialists in a controlled technical environment Another point that AIT would like to improve in the future is the creation of Business processes together with the deployment of IT solutions.
AIT did not create any processes when implementing the system. A first step towards process creation was engaged in 2003 with an audit performed on the company.
