Main goals:
The project’s main objective is to improve the capacity and efficiency of production for SMEs through the provision of ICT services and tools that facilitate innovation processes, such as high performance and cloud computing, open innovation and product life-cycle management.
Specific goals:
- Designing, promoting and implementing the mechanisms and tools necessary for SMEs to access high performance computing (HPC) resources efficiently in order to make their production processes more competitive and develop high value-added solutions.
- Creating a supraregional infrastructure to support open innovation based on technological transfer around free software OOS, involving regional organizations to support the creation of knowledge through the SMEs.
- Promoting efficiency in SMEs through the possibility of implementing product lifecycle management (PLM) tools.
- Designing and implementing mechanisms for self-sustainability. Establishing conditions to continue the project after the funding period. Analyzing, based on real experiences, the business model and plan, in order to fund the necessary infrastructure to make CloudPYME self-sustainable.
