Within this article is an overview of the tools and mechanisms used by OHB System to manage technology developments both internally and with partners, together with practical examples of its application. It starts with an introduction to OHB System and a small history of its foundation. It will then provide an overview of the technology management practices adopted at OHB System and finally provide practical examples of their implementation.
