Problem statement
Current research policy is made based on a homogeneous-mono-metrics
(eenzijdige metrics), from a single source.
Yet making impact spans a much wider spectrum.

Imagine…
• A single entry where you can find the research information you need
• Where you can combine research information to build rich analytics
• Get’s updated daily from different sources of information
• Scalable and performing fast for tons of services to draw from

Questions
• All these sources, why does every service need to build a separate
datawarehouse?
• What are the posibilities if we could combine all the information
needed for different services, and put it in one community cloud?
