Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a computer-based method and system for gathering materials and technology information from internal as well as external sources, integrating the information into a format accessible to disparate systems, storing the information in a centralized system, updating the stored information as needed, and providing continuous access to the information for authorized users of the system. The Development Toolkit Network (DTN) of the present invention is a set of applications designed to facilitate the gathering of technical information about supplier product offerings, and to disseminate that information to an organization's development engineers around the globe.
