In the evolving international business scenario, the need of new, collaborative working models and practices is emerging as an important and strategic factor for EU firms, struggling to cope with global competition and internationalisation challenges. In this context, it is fundamental to enhance relationships / partnerships among organizations in a fully collaborative way. This condition is particularly felt by SMEs, due to their limited financial capacity and limited ability to manage innovation processes and to deploy adequate resources.
One of the essential elements for enabling a collaborative, interconnected business scenario is the availability of reliable, seamless, transparent and easy-to-use ICT solutions and services, suitable for making business transactions more effective and inclusive, especially for SMEs, and for supporting Enterprise Interoperability and Enterprise Collaboration scenarios.
The COIN project, which is supporting the present workshop, is developing ICT integrated solution and services to support the above described vision, starting from notable existing research results in the field of Enterprise Interoperability (and made available by the whole Enterprise Interoperability DG INFSO D4 Cluster) and Enterprise Collaboration. The objectives of this workshop are:
– To launch the COIN community, suitable for supporting the development and deployment of the COIN project, through the active participation in identified project’s tasks and through the identification of additional relevant business cases;
– To present the Enterprise Interoperability and Enterprise Collaboration scenarios and relevant needs, with particular respect to problematic areas which need to be addressed and discussed in order to find common positions of the industrial and scientific communities;
– To identify specific tasks which, if performed, can facilitate the adoption of COIN results and increase its visibility.
Expected results from this workshop is to start the process for the definition of a common vision to implement the EI/EC services dulling the critical barriers due to an heterogeneity of languages and business knowledge, and defining new challenges for ICT collaborative applications. Participants in this workshop are:
– Researchers in the Enterprise Interoperability and Collaboration domain,
– IT industry, willing to collaborate and get involved along the various COIN project phases;
– Representatives of Business Ecosystems and collaborative clusters, willing to learn how to utilise COIN platform in order to build advanced, innovative pilots;
– Industrial associations and SMEs’ stakeholders in general;
