The main strategies of development E-Catalogue are:
- Integration of Catalogue with industrial regulatory reference information systems of ROSATOM State Corporation;
- Generation of IMS internal approaches and principles for production procurement and 3D-design processes as part of generation, identification, storage and using data about products;
- Generation of material and technical provision process management experience and skills.
Those factors provide directly economic benefits from the application of the Catalogue in the design and procurement processes by reducing and optimizing the search and use of qualitative information, including 3D models.
Events for a promotion the E-Catalogue are held on various platforms in accordance to the main development trends . Representatives of management NSI JSC IK ASE take part in forums, exhibitions, conferences, exit seminars as in the Russian Federation, and abroad.
