IBP Future
IBP Future
The Integrated Breeding Platform will survive GCP
IBP Users Primary target: NARS partners wanting to enhance the effectiveness of
their breeding programmes by integrating molecular methods
All interested CGIAR breeding programmes and networks
SMEs working in developing countries, without the in-house capacity to build a breeding workflow system
Secondary target: Basically anyone running breeding activities Both the public and the private sectors
The IBWS – Product Concept
IBWS = Integrated Breeding Workflow System Simple and easy-to-use application containing all informatics
tools needed by a breeder Seamless flow of data between applications Targets routine breeding activities and will not replace
research tools (association mapping, etc.) Develop a simple intuitive user interface based on breeding
workflows Implementable as a standalone system
Access central and local DB, as well as the IBWS on a local PC Will also be implementable through the internet via iPlant
cyber-infrastructure For computationally intensive analyses or large data storage needs

The Promotion and implementation Plan
June–December 2013 (testing version): Limited promotion
GCP/CG circle, by word of mouth, by chance (Google), etc Establishment of the first Regional Hubs Development of the e-learning platform & support documents Link with Universities and academic institutions January–December 2014 (broadly tested version): More active promotion through proactive communication Consolidation of the Regional hubs Implementation of the decentralised CB workplan
Online, Universities, hubs, etc Establishment of the commercial team January 2015: Full-speed promotion and implementation (commercial version)
The Support Services Considering the nature of IBP and the very diverse potential users of the IBWS, it is critical to provide a top-quality support services to ensure sustainable adoption
Professional Support to be provided in three ways: Client-oriented breeding support primarily targeting developing-
country breeders Capacity building support to provide professional and
comprehensive training in orientation to, and using, the tools Interaction with peers through social networks and CoPs
Technical Support to be provided at two levels to all users: Level 1: installation technical support
To overcome any difficulties in downloading, installing and getting started with the IBWS and related tools
Level 2: operational technical support for users that might encounter problems in day-to-day use of
the IBWS and related tools
Central Support Team: Managers plus ad hoc
specialists
Promotion and commercialisation Team Users from Tier 2

Price for private sector will be scalable in 4 dimensions: ♦ Economic: level of net income ♦ Activities: Usage of the different IBWS components ♦ Diversity: number of crops ♦ Size number of people
User Tiers, Pricing and Packaging
Committed user: What does it mean?
Institutions accessing the IBWS under a free licence will make an institutional commitment to:
♦ Implement IBWS in their own breeding programme(s) ♦ Provide user feedback for IBP product and service
improvement ♦ Contribute to IBP CB activities in the region ♦ Availability for promotional activities and endorsement ♦ Each hub to share its network (public and private) ♦ Agree to host an IBP regional hub (not mandatory)
In case of no compliance to the above requirements, the free licence will be cancelled
The Workplan (proposal phase II) Phase II will build on five major activities:
♦ Maintenance and improvement of the IBWS and the portal (must have)
♦ Development of new functionalities for the IBWS and database improvement (good to have)
♦ Implementation of support services (must have) ♦ Proactive capacity building programme (good to have) ♦ Promotion and awareness (must have)
The potential users
We will focus our effort on having the buy-in at Institutional level rather than individual level
The way forward:
Next steps for IBP phase II implementation: ♦ Need to push for the GF proposal ♦ Need to define a host agent for the IBP Phase II
initiative ♦ Need to define a governance structure ♦ Need to find additional money
In designing Phase II: Bear in mind…
The importance of the GCP legacy Build on existing and true partnerships Keep the doers on board (ownership), same for SiMAC Apply broad range of lessons learnt
Do not underestimate the human component The community of practice (At all levels, including the private sector) Why IBP is unique – its comparative advantage The enthusiasm and dedication of the (early) user will make a difference
The networking element: key for the support services Be agile and flexible to adjust Request in-kind contribution from host Institute
This is not just a business The R4D component remains at the heart of this Initiative
It should be a win-win situation with clear added value for every actor
