The institute of Business Computing of the University Erlangen-Nürnberg for Open-I presented the originated prototype of an Open-I-platform at the Cebit on March 2nd-6th.
This was about a innovation platform based on social network, whose main aim is to involve all employees in the process of innovation: Every employee has the possibility to conduce increasing innovation creation intra-company: by participating in generating creative ideas, by providing briefly or detailed feedback on innovation drafts and advancing the further development, by contributing his knowledge and connections to elaborate concepts
The prototype caused a stir of interest among representatives of practice and research, who mainly believed in the potential of the IT-based innovative networking as well as the integrated data storage. Thus the open-I-team explicitly thanks Bayern Innovative’s team and as well as all helping hands and supporters of the project because without them the project's success would not have been possible in this way because without them the project's success would not have been possible in this dimension.
