Objective
In the global economy important opportunities are created for regional productions that qualify themselves as unique and identity-rich. These products can reach the global market using Inter-net and the new opportunities of the Information Society, provided these solutions are made available to the SMEs in easy, unobtrusive ways that allow electronic transactions while preserving the rich legacy of evocation and charme of identity productions. The INTRINSIC project is set to deploy a comprehensive solution to this challenging scenario. To this end, INTRINSIC will:
Analyse SME actors and processes in two major production fields (identity food and quality handicrafts products) developing and integrating optimal e-business applications and services to support the transactional value chain;
Develop and integrate the applications and services that help convey the image and identity of the products, effectively supporting an imagination engineering value chain;
Implement the above solutions into Regional Service Centres acting as Application Service Providers where transactional e-business applications are managed and offered to the SMEs by means of lightweight interfaces, while promotional applications are run on behalf of the entire local system, in order to attain integration and critical mass;
Perform a two-phase training activity: initially by training, through services and facilities made available by the Associations, the operators of the SME core group; then, at a later stage, by transferring knowledge towards the operators of a larger number of SMEs belonging to the same sectors, through a direct, on the job involvement of the champions of the SME core group.
