CSP purpose, objectives and expected results

– Background and purpose:• focuses on the commercial network of national content service

providers in Italy, Germany, and Greece with branch-related know-how

• installs the update subscription service offering updates for the software’s “link sector”, and distributes the files online monthly, offline quarterly, and spontaneously as reaction to unexpected market developments

• “intended to retain a close relationship with e-Volution II customers and to provide them with customised information.

– Result, information provision on:• E-business strategies, trends, methodologies, news, major players, …• targeted information on “Your Sector” with original pilot focusing on

furniture (wood packaging and inflatable boat markets also considered)

– Technical approach: information provided through a multi-modular web-portal and retrieved based on intelligent agents

Stand-alone content service & integrated function within e-volution tool-kit - Stand-alone Content service

- EE companies can subscribe to CSP services by:- Already receiving login to MM and accessing the CSP- Promoting only CSP and offering the service on its own,

providing login and password separately after registration- Functions of regular service

- Email automatic reply sent to registered user on a regular (monthly, weekly, bi-monthly – lower subscription fee) or exactly when major information on market, sector is updated (“real-time” updates – larger subscription fee

- Opportunity to receive CSP online service updates in various formats (email, RSS)

- Exclusive links to e-Vo toolkit information and materials

- Integration to MA/CSP- Access from MA (IS) to query CSP data- Re-insertion of CSP relevant results into MA

Editorial and automatic methodology for CSP

I CSP Definition– Creation and planning of sector to be incorporated with CSP

II Brief study– what kind of information is needed by the companies– what is the map of the sector, what are the relevant roles within

the respective EE (kind of providers and clients.

III Creation of semantic map– Semantic map of the sector is created to be used for searching,

filtering and monitoring the information.– Only concepts related to sector are implemented in the map, as

general concepts about extended enterprises, market data, etc. are already implemented and included

IV Research of the information sources– Set of tools queried by meta-search tool– Various queries are performed to find rss feeds, metasearch, and

to define directory websites

CSP data retrieval methodology (cont)

– content of the sample of the website will be rated using the semantic map that will have been previously defined.

– Automatic insertion in the directory, in the meta-search

V Information retrieval, filtering, monitoring– RSS, meta-search, directory contains websites.– Directory also contains some documents that are found within the

websites that have been selected according to two operations.– All documents retrieved are then filtered and classified with

semantic technology– Monitoring

• monitoring of the sources: the process of identification of the sources is repeated periodically

• Monitoring of the pages: the process of search/crawling is repeated more often to find news documents

CSP home page

– Home page of CSP accessed from Information Selector located in MA (menu option: “Go to CSP”)

– CSP home page has undergone major revisions

– Home area:• Provides introduction to what CSP has to offer

• Requires that EE company member chooses its relevant sector

• Can be used as the login access point for e-Vo members that subscribe to the service

• Links to sector specific EE home page with unique EE roles to choose from

– Easier navigation, clean & simple user-friendly style

e-Vo Directory: relevant content & structured insight

– Directory of links to specific related resources created and updated according to a symbiotic method

– Category structure created to incorporate both a general e-business window and “your EE sector” focus

– Currently, directory developed primarily for furniture sector, but also incorporates wood packaging and inflatable boats sectors (Italian and Greek test case sectors)

– Focused sector usage allows for double-access to the information depending on e-Vo user’s preferences in path towards information for their e-business strategies

1. Relevant categories provided as results after sector chooses its EE role navigating from the CSP home page and after selecting its sector from menu drop-down bar

2. Navigation directly to directory home page on left nav bar throughout CSP

RSS (“Really Simple Syndication”)

– RSS is a XML based format for syndicating news and content of news

– Why use this technology?• Have an easy way to collect and focus on relevant

news in the industry and be informed in “real-time” when news breaks, trends develop, markets open, change, risks form etc.

• Focus our efforts on filtering to gain targeted information for e-vo users

– With RSS aggregators, users can develop their own personal news content service to view only the news that is important to them

– E-Vo RSS: currently aims to locate and develop RSS feeds related to E-Business and the furniture industry to keep EE alert to what’s going on in their specific sector and e-business as a whole

Greschalux Activities III/III6. Testing and evaluation of prototype solutions

− lab tests at real system application simulation a M-BIS and interview functionality of the organisation analyser is used to evaluate the prototypes

− tests are going on

7. Organisational changes and newly defined processes related to the strategy implementation

− process redesign did start after the definition of the new strategy and its realisation

− process was supported by the use of the project management tool

Feedback from Greschalux and their partners

− feedback was positive because all relevant persons could be implemented in the decision making process but with reduced time consumption by travelling and doing meetings

− the used methodological support was given from the beginning to the end, from the strategy definition til the operational realisation of single implementation processes

− the acceptance and usability of the organisation analyser was good for all involved user except the administrator

o the administration was done from one programmer of M-BIS and one manager of Greschalux with the aim to teach and integrate project management abilities in the newly defined eCommerce based structure of the EE

o the usability for the administrator was too complex which caused

too long learning phase

time losses by using the system

sometimes misunderstandingsSupervised by partner M-BIS

Italian IRG test case Imbal Center (IMBC)

– Imbal Center setting up a project with one of the main customers for remote inventory management: aiming to become the sole supplier of wood packaging

– This could allow Imbal Center to considerably increase its own turnover (because this potential agreement means higher quantity of sold products) offering added value services, the remote inventory control, enabled by a direct electronic connection with this customer.

– Within the EE, information on administrative and financials issues are shared by using a mini ERP, which has been now enriched by adding several modules dealing with operations/production. The locations of these SMEs allows frequent face to face meeting useful to increase the internal collaboration.

Example for Italian IRG test case Imbal Center (IMBC) activities

Sensitivity analysis matrix

– The feedbacks received by Imbal Center led UNISA to implement the Sensitivity Analysis: some answers to the questions related with the Wood Pallet - Consumer Product/Market (PM) area were modified in order to analyse the impact on the bubble position inside the matrix;

– The starting point of the PM area is in the “stay on the current position” area whereas the arriving point is in the “invest in order to increase the market share” area;

Achieved Interest and Reference Group results in Greece

– e-Volution dissemination event, organized by TEC and ALTEC, on December 2004 in Chalkis, at the Evia Chamber of Commerce and attended by Greek IRG members (Planatech, KEK Kronos, Read S.A.)

– Relevant feedback:• Common agreement that general business and financial environment in

Greece is not in favour of investments, especially in the “dot com” technologies.

• Need for the provision of a localised (Greek) user interface. • Greek IRG members (especially Planatech and Tiligadas) performed an

evaluation of the current version of the software.• Evaluation results: All the software modules should be available as

ASP services. Installation and maintenance requirements of local applications are considered a burden to the local IT departments and therefore, should be avoided

Meeting project milestones

* Source: Operational project objectives from the TA (DoW), 3rd Contract Amendment

M1 Set of system requirements as outcome of the research and the market surveys; month 6 (revised until 23)

M2 Methodology concept as result of the integration of the differing approaches into the strategy roadmap; month 14 (revised until 24->36)

M3 prototype of software facilitated e-Volution methodology; month 27 (revised between18->36)

M4 implementation of method and prototype into industrial partners; month 32 (revised until 35)

M5 constitution of content service provider; month 36

Delays in task finalising and ongoing revisions caused deviations from the initial milestones and work plan

Review of collaboration with the Commission

Monitoring of project

• Irregular contact with coordinator, assistance on contractual issues and planning

• Late explanations of problems, proposal of only formal solutions, little support regarding RTD work focussing

• Lack of assistance on dissemination and exploitation

• Meagre feedback on work during reviews

Participation in Meetings

• PO: Only Mid-Term and a Periodic Review Meeting

• PTA: Kick-off, two Periodic Review and Mid-Term Meeting

Assistance to the Consortia

• Contractual matters, other issues

Collaboration with the PO and PTA

Experiences and lessons learned by the partners

• General commitment of partners to the project

• European RTD project itself is an Extended Enterprise: partner integration on all levels needed

• Especially different working stiles and cultures, competences and experiences needed to be harmonised

• Important lessons learned for all partners

• Good project management bodies and mechanisms on board, but not as efficiently used as expected

• WP and Task leaders expected strong top-down technical management but this would limit creativity of RTD work

• Bottom-up approach, based on industrial needs, was finally the more successful approach

Management, organisation and collaboration

Project funded by the European Community under the ‘Competitive and Sustainable Growth’ Programme (1998-2002)

Experiences and lessons learned by the partners

• Thematic complexity of EE issue cannot be addressed in total, but e-volution addresses real industrial needs in a certain area

Project purpose and results

• Face to face meetings proofed to be most efficient way of collaboration, but limited by budget

• Technical solutions, like video conference, failed because of IT-infrastructure reasons

• Sequential instead of complex parallel work plan structure is regarded as more efficient in terms of mutual task management and problem handling

• Ongoing tasks revision constrained the overall work progress

• Administrative workload (reports, etc.) must have right balance compared with actual RTD work for partners

External collaborations (IMS GMBH, D) within the scope of Extended project work plan

• (Planned) use of software tool-kit prototype for the development of Extended Enterprises meta business object models for e-business requirement specification and software design to create running software applications with database independent persistence and independently from the operative system

• in June 2004 opening of IMS insolvency proceedings

• Further development of the software prototypes was stopped, setback for Extended work plan and test case activities

Reimbursement of funding from contractors in April 2005

GPC, Vision, EMEC

• Total payments are higher than 85% cut-off figure and even higher than calculated total funded budget, as a result of 2nd contract amendment.

• According to the Annex II of the Contract, Article 3(4), the Coordinator sent request with time limit (invoice) by registered letter to the contractors to reimburse the difference, as directed by the Commission’s Contract Unit.

• The reimbursed funding will be hold by the Coordinator in trust until final payment.

Altro Studio

• Total payments are higher than 85% cut-of figure, as a result of 2nd contract amendment.

Retention of partner funding

1st payment • Partners IBH and Plastifoto reach 85% cut-off figure

• Retention of funding by Coordination and held in trust until final payment

2nd payment • Partners UNISA reaches 85% cut-off figure

• Retention of funding by Coordination and held in trust until final payment

• Partner IBH, due do negative payment balance, is now below 85% cut-off figure

• Retention from 1st periodic payment is offset against negative 2nd payment balance

• Still negative 2nd payment balance is charged by the Coordinator to pay other partners

1st and 2nd periodic payments

1st payment • Coordinator gives advance payment to partners FAZ, TEC, GPC and Altro Studio (negative payment after costs modification and deduction of 20% of Commission’s advance payment) on the assumption that cost will be finally accepted and payment from the Commission is done

• Negative payment balance of partners FAZ, TEC and GPC is offset against additional Commission payment in 2nd round

• Altro Studios costs are accepted in 3rd round by not paid by the Commission because no interim payment of less than 10 T€

• Advance payment from Coordinator to Altro Studio is still not refunded

2nd payment • Coordinator offsets his advance payment to Altro Studio from 1st payment against 2nd payment

• Negative payment balance of partners IBH, FAZ, TEC (costs modification and deduction of about 40% of Commission’s advance payment): request for reimbursement of funding to the Coordinator to held funding in trust
