ePrototypes Development Principles

The prototypes development is based on the following principles:

  • The prototyping (proof of concept) and open innovation are the methodological components of the initiative.
  • A usage of the eSolution is simple.
  • The eSolution is in accordance with a need and a desire of its user.
  • In the eSolution the required manual procedures are embedded into the software allowing for the solution to be easily arranged by the user to fit with her/his current requirements.
  • The paper documents are replaced by the e-messages.
  • The organization is enabling the partnering organization an insight into data related to the common buying-selling process.
  • Data provided by the organization can be used in the partnering organization without any additional manual data entry.
  • Data standards and norms are unified and accessible to all partnering organizations.
  • Prototype development groups cooperate and share the experience gained.
  • The prototype eSolutions are presented to the professional public.
  • The eRegion Portal is exploited for a better eCollaboration. The portal is powered by SRC d.o.o. Ljubljana.

The principles have been accepted in the 28.11.2016 Food eSupply & eProcurement Meeting.

The Food eSupply & eProcurement prototypes are closely related to some other areas of the  Inter-Municipality Initiative: Cross-border eCollaboration in the eRegions. For example, SMEs eCommerce in the eRegions  & eMunicipalities Without Borders.

Načela razvijanja prototipne e-rešitve

 

Prototipiranje (preizkušanje zamisli) in odprto inoviranje sta metodološki sestavini pobude Čezmejno e-sodelovanje v e-regijah.

Uporaba e-rešitve je enostavna.

Prototipna e-rešitev je taka, kakršno rabi in si jo želi njen uporabnik.

V e-rešitvi so ročni postopki vgrajeni v računalniški program, ki uporabniku omogoča, da ga po svoji presoji z lahkoto prilagaja svojim trenutnim zahtevam.

Papirne listine so nadomeščene z e-sporočili.

Organizacija omogoča partnerski organizaciji vpogled v podatke, ki so povezani s skupnim nakupno-prodajnim procesom.

Podatki so iz ene organizacije posredovani drugi organizaciji na način, da ponovno ročno zajemanje teh podatkov ni potrebno.

Podatkovni standardi in normativi so poenoteni in dostopni vsem sodelujočim organizacijam.

Skupine, ki izdelujejo prototipe, sodelujejo in izmenjujejo pridobljene izkušnje.

Prototipne e-rešitve so predstavljene strokovni javnosti.

Portal  eRegion se izrablja za boljše e-sodelovanje. Delovanje portala zagotavlja SRC d.o.o. Ljubljana.

Načela so bila sprejeta na sestanku 28.11.2016 Food eSupply & eProcurement Meeting.
