| Offshore Technology Management Ltd (OTM) is an engineering consultancy that advises organisations in the offshore and subsea industries on how to use, manage and supply technology most profitably. The company provides both consultancy services and software tools, using a unique combination of knowledge of offshore and subsea technology, knowledge of strategic marketing techniques, and an extensive range of national and international contacts. Formed in 1993, OTM is a small, dynamic company providing a strong capability by specialising exclusively in this field and by working in alliance with other expert organisations. Specialist know-how is provided in 3 key areas: technology evaluation, technology development, and technology asset-management. | technology EVALUATION Before developing or acquiring technology -either to utilise in-house or to sell to other parties - it is important to evaluate and prioritise internal capabilities and requirements and market opportunities. To do this it is necessary to have extensive information at one's fingertips, both in terms of market data, and technology and product availability, and then to have methods for rigorous analysis and evaluation o this information. OTM assists in all these areas through the provision of appropriate market research and analysis services, technology identification and evaluation software (PTIDES), seminars, and publications. |

It is then able to provide R & D management services, and tools for developing selected concepts; these include research and development tools - such as strategic alliancing JIP development, funding, and patenting - and technology transfer tools (for historical, linear or trans-sectoral transfer) - such as source identification, updating, licensing and acquisition. Finally, OTM is able to advise on techniques for application and commercialisation of developed technologies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

technology ASSET-MANAGEMENT Many organisations are rich in technology assets - normally overlooked as valuable tools and sources of income. To improve one's competitiveness it is vital to optimise the potential of these assets using innovative and structured management techniques. OTM has developed specific marketing techniques such as technology auditing to identify technology assets and build a framework for ongoing management, and asset analysis to develop strategies for these assets and to optimise resulting market opportunities. OTM provides customer auditing, technology auditing and portfolio analysis services, and technology asset-management software (TAPAS). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
