In order to be future-proof and competitive, small and medium-sized enterprises are faced with the challenge of becoming ever more efficient and powerful - and increasingly using tailor-made software solutions. The Software4KMU project aims to provide low-threshold and comprehensive support for this with a software engineering toolbox.
Over a period of ten months, participating SMEs can actively contribute to the process of developing the software engineering toolbox based on their experience and learn how to use it as an effective self-help resource. A series of workshops will provide a good starting point for improving their own know-how and bridging the shortage of IT specialists with their own resources. The challenges and best practices identified will then be prepared and integrated into the platform.
The kick-off event on 25.04.2024 will provide initial information about the planned toolbox and the course of the workshop series. Interested companies will also have the opportunity to register for the program during this event.
Agenda of the event
- Successfully implementing software solutions: a challenge in day-to-day operations
- Everything clear - right? Conditions for successful communication between companies and software service providers
- Presentation of the "Software4KMU" project, including an introduction to the software engineering toolbox to be implemented and information about the workshop series and the involvement of SMEs in the development during the project
Your options after this event
Interested parties have the opportunity to register for the upcoming peer group workshops. In these workshops, we would like to work together to identify and understand the challenges faced by SMEs to subsequently identify best practices.
Participation offers the following benefits
- Active co-design of the Software Engineering Toolbox "Software4KMU" to address your individual needs and challenges in the development of the new platform.
- Joint development and documentation of your current software engineering status quo.
- Collaborative analysis of your challenges and corresponding support from our team.
