This research is documented in an annual 65-page document called the SSP which is based on an extensive triangulation process which involves consultation with the industry. The SSP research serves to:

- Guide grant allocations
Through the outcome of the SSP research, the MICT SETA Strategic Plan is informed. The research serves as basis for the development of the SETA’s Strategic Plan. Other documents informed by the broader outcomes of the SSP include:
- 5 sub-sector mini research reports
