CoVES Expected impact

• Traditional strength of SMEs
• effective and fast internal collaboration and
  decision making mostly in small and collocated
  engineering team, but
• Market requires that collaboration with partners,
  customers and suppliers increases and the reach
  and scope of activity grows beyond local regions
• Agility of SMEs is at risk
• key driver for the competitiveness of companies
  mobile technologies for collaboration with
  virtual teams

• The CoVES project aims at European strategic
  impact in this field on two levels
• Improve innovativeness, agility and
  competitiveness of European SMEsby making mobile
  collaboration technologies available for them.
  SMEs often have an even higher benefit from them
  than many large companies, but not the resources
  for complex or proprietary solutions.
• Strengthening European enterprise and
  collaboration application providers and mobility
  solution providers as innovation champions for
  the SME market.

Collaborative Virtual Engineering Scenario with
Mobility Support

• Overall Target of CoVES is to develop a
• flexible collaboration environment with
• access to rich data and applications
• for nomadic professionals and partners
• targeted towards SMEs
• To this end CoVES will develop
• new working models and functionalities for
  effective mobile collaboration
• flexible and open service integration
  architecture that allows wrapping of enterprise
  applications and integration of collaboration
  services
• user centric client concept especially for mobile
  devices
• implement a pilot system geared towards the
  engineering domain through a user driven
  development methodology in two living labs
