General Description

The workplan is based on the following ingredients:
  • a three-layered architecture (tool environment)

  • a methodology will complement the tool helping to bridge the gap between information needs and information sources.

  • Both the methodology and the toolkit will be evaluated in three significant case-studies:

    • Swiss Life provides an excellent testbed for a large-scale and in-depth case study on applying methods and tools to organisation memories of enterprises
    • BT provides a very interesting case study on applying our methods and techniques for a call centre (help desk).
    • Enersearch provides an advanced case study on how to organise future companies as virtual enterprises.
