Abstract

Technological ecosystems are a widespread solution to address the challenges of the information technologies in organizations. It is important to have tools to correctly and quickly evaluate them. The Technological Ecosystem Map (TEmap) is a tool to intuitively interpret complex information maintaining both a global and a detailed vision of the technologies. It is a polygonal and structured representation of the main elements of the ecosystem. Each element is evaluated according to its maturity level, indicating how it contributes to fulfil the organization objectives. Each maturity level is represented by a colour, so that the TEmap takes the form of a heat map. The particular case of the University of Alicante is chosen to illustrate its construction. The TEmap is a simple but powerful way to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a technological ecosystem and the possible actions to improve the solution to the strategic questions of the organization.
