Background

See Welcome to the eSMEs wiki

Focus

23 million European SMEs becoming eSMEs.

For eBusiness adoption to succeed, ICT standards and interoperability assets are key.

Conventional instruments [1] to promote the use of standards by SMEs achieve insufficient results [2], and results are achieved too slowly, at too high costs, with too high risks of stranding for SMEs investing in ICTs.

This baseline is an instrument to identify possible synergies, and to support planning for achieving them. By maintaining a map of the current situation and ongoing initiatives, this baseline will facilitate identifying and addressing gaps.

Baseline Structure

Navigation via the Top Menu Bar

The drop down menus of the top menu bar provide access to EU overview pages for the named content areas (e.g., BASELINE - business model, BASELINE - operational measures, etc. ).
Each overview page contains both EU wide common elements (in English), and links to the dedicated pages per country and language (both in English, and in the national language).

Navigation via the "language flags"

By clicking a flag on the right-hand border, you will access the baseline pages that are specific for the countries or regions where the language is spoken.
