Description
Nature of printing process has for a long time stayed the same, therefore it is necessary to change printing work ordering more efficient, user- and environment friendly. Project idea is to develop a new smart cloud based ICT printing solution that will save resources, decrease negative environmental impact and increase international cooperation between value chain service providers. The solution may also be developed as an universal product, ready to be used in other industry sectors, where relevant resource savings could be achieved. This project, supported under the small grant scheme, will aim to further elaborate the project idea with the aim of preparing the project application for the main open call under the GII programme. The project aim is to assess the feasibility, to analyse the market situation and competitive environment, to develop the concept of solution, to form an initial action plan and to search for possible partners (also from Norway) to be involved in the project.
Summary of project results
The project was needed to prepare the development a new generation cloud based ICT printing solution that would have an environmental aspect in resource savings and enhance the cooperation between the value chain service providers. The results are sustained through the preparatory steps in identifying if the solution may have potential to act in the market as an idependent product or ready to be used in other industry sectors where relevant resource savings could be achieved. The project aim was to assess the feasibility, to analyse the market situation and competitive environment, to develop the concept of solution, to form an initial action plan and to search for possible partners. Aforementioned tasks were reached within the project period. The outcome of analysing the bussiness value and impact of this solution has been reached as the preparatory steps in head of submission of an open call proposal have been completed.
