CrossWork

Description
Achieving sustainable growth and improving competitiveness in increasingly complex and dynamic market environments requires businesses to build agile partnerships and alliances. Market demands can only be satisfied within dynamic networks of collaborating organisations. True collaboration inside such networks requires tight but flexible integration of business processes. In CrossWork we focus on distributed, cross-organisational development processes in the automotive industry, forming Networks of Automotive Excellence (NoAE).
The main project objective of CrossWork is the development of mechanisms for automated workflow formation and enactment. CrossWork aims at fulfilling the requirements to the innovative business models of a NoAE. With the novel CrossWork technology approach we aim to improve the overall process quality and flexibility. At the same time it enables to reduce costs and time for distributed cross-organisational development processes.
The Department for Business Informations Systems - Communications Engineering at the University of Linz is the main responsible partner for design and development of the interfaces between the users and the CrossWork-Software-System.
