An extensive market
analysis focused on the user group of small and
medium sized enterprises (SMES) has shown that
the following properties are considered mandatory
for a high acceptance of such a system: a small
amount of investment, a rich set of participants,
dependable services and modularity of the system. |
|
| |
| |
Our conclusions are
twofold: First, an electronic information and
cooperation system is needed that can be used as
simply, reliably and trustworthily as fax and
letters. Second, a strategic marketing plan is
required that, starting with low initial
investments costs and with European SME
associations as multipliers, attracts a large
amount of users from the start.
The market success for such a system is expected
to be quite good: a large number of users
consulted in the market analysis have already
given commitments to participate. |
|
| |
| |
In a first phase, the
project will result in a demonstration server and
the technical architecture for the final system.
The demonstration server will provide an
easy-to-use Windows interface accessing a simple
database via standard transport protocols. Based
on the results of the market analysis and the
demonstration evaluation the technical
architecture will be designed with respect to its
transfer protocols,its databases and its security
. |

While the funding by the EC was finished
in 1996, the CWASAR results have triggered an
industrial effort to implement and market the
system.This effort is conducted under the
leadership of “Ecoinfobase BusinessNetwork
GmbH, St. Augustin, Germany". CWASAR ideas and results are within the
eco infoabase system. Please visit the web site
