Paper Abstract:
|
An enterprises competitiveness today is to a large extent determined by its ability to seamlessly interoperate with others.
Observing and analyzing the growing need for collaboration, an international team of academic and industry partners is
involved in the development of an innovative integrated collaborative platform, intended to support collaboration
activities of SMEs which cannot afford the expensive software solutions available on the market. The main objective of
this paper is to present the research methodology used for identification of the platform architecture and functionalities
creation, and for evaluation of the developed solution. The results, achieved within the implemented project, could
encourage and support the European SMEs in developing their IT infrastructure, providing useful directions and possible
solutions for solving some pressing business needs. A number of ideas, related to further research, development and
exploitation of the collaborative environment, are also provided. |
