Information Capabilities Framework
Information capabilities framework (ICF) refers to data infrastructure and is a critical part of enterprise software. Specifically, the information capabilities framework uses technology that can be shared across other data or information platforms. This information then serves as the framework for how data can be pushed to a variety of other programs or applications.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Information Capabilities Framework
A small business may interact with an ICF in some way. Generally speaking, the specifics behind an ICF are not something a business needs to be concerned with. This may change if they are actively engaged in the software world. If that's the case, a small business may be expected to take an active role in the creation or management of an ICF. Otherwise, it is usually enough for a business to understand what an ICF is and how it integrates with the larger program.
