6 Tactics To Improve Your Technology ScoutingMamta Agrawal
Technology scouting’s main goal is to help small and medium-sized businesses identify emerging innovations, channel tech-related data into the organization, and promote inexperienced technology in a corporate setting. At Ingenious e-Brain, we combine our knowledge, analysis, and tried-and-true processes to map out the innovations that will influence your business. We carry out a technology scouting service in the following steps.
This document discusses technology transfer, which involves converting ideas from research into useful products and services. Technology transfer shares technology between organizations like universities and companies. It enables innovation by discovering, developing, and delivering new ideas. The presentation covers evaluating technology transfer opportunities, finding inventions and inventors, protecting intellectual property, commercial evaluation, commercial routes, and concludes with examples.
The document discusses an open innovation platform that matches small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experts to help solve technical problems and generate new ideas. The platform crawls scientific literature and patent databases to identify experts best suited to a company's needs based on their relevant publications. It allows anonymous initial contact between companies and experts before they negotiate direct collaboration. A trial with SMEs resulted in over €2 million in research contracts and €16 million in total value generated for participating companies. The presentation encourages interested SMEs to participate in a free trial of the platform and its services.

The Future Network is the international network for ICT and business decision-makers in Austria. As an
independent dialogue and discussion platform, it enables decision-makers to exchange information with
solution providers, consultants, scientists and experienced users, as well as to present their own experi-
ences and approaches to solving problems. Members can thereby avail themselves of the best contacts
from a network of over 1000 experts.
Proactive ICT Management
Experience shows that proactive ICT management gives rise to the lowest costs and is most efficient.
Moreover, at a time when flexibility, customer focus and the fast adaptation of business processes are so
important, innovative thinking is also in demand. At the same time, in view of the overload of informa-
tion, it’s getting increasingly difficult to keep an overview. The dialogue promoted by the Future Network
therefore helps you to select important knowledge and to use it for your own business success. The effi-
cient use of IT to achieve competitive advantages is thereby of foremost concern.
Future Network Cert
certification centre for CPRE and CPSA
Certification is becoming ever more important within the IT sector as a proof of qualification. Since 2007,
Future Network Cert has functioned as a certification centre for the “Certified Professional for Require-
ments Engineering — CPRE” certificate in Austria, and for the “Certified Professional for Software Archi-
tecture — CPSA” certificate at the international level. Based on a set course of instruction, the certifica-
tion centre attests that the owner of the certificate possesses skills in the relevant area.
Future Network enables access to ICT market data
Market studies offer important points of reference for understanding the ICT sector, as well as for suc-
cessful business planning projects. The Future Network enables its members to have access to current
data and promotes discussion on trends and developments in the market as a whole and also in special
areas. Each year, the highlight is the overview of the domestic IT market provided by IDC market research,
which has since 2009 been presented jointly with the Economic Research Institute.

Focal topics
The business value of IT
Which ICT investments support company-wide and cross-com-
pany business processes the most efficiently, in terms of busi-
ness alignment? Where do we find ROI potentials that simul-
taneously optimise performance?
A lean business model
A lean business model contributes most towards ensuring the
agility of a company. The individualisation of services, regula-
tion and networking are powerful drivers of complexity. Mod-
ularisation, standardisation and concentration on the essen-
tial can help to counter that tendency.
E-Government 2.0
Innovative software and hardware have fundamentally changed
the work of public administration. The current guidelines at
both the EU and national level are speeding up this develop-
ment: the EU Services Directive, best practice exchange and
the discussion of innovative approaches are the key topics here.
Social Networking
Interpersonal relationships and the social networks that arise
from them represent an important basis for social and tech-
nical developments. Social software as a new form of cooper-
ation system enables new kinds of collaboration, both inside
and outside companies.
ITinfrastructure,virtualisationandcloudcomputing
In the area of infrastructure, the focus is increasingly on low
costs and flexibility. The issues of virtualisation and ITILv3,
Third Edition, are of vital importance for infrastructure. Cloud
computing is one of the coming topics.
Business integration and portals
The customer is the central focus of investments this year.
More efficient processes and cost reductions can, in the view
of many IT managers, be achieved through optimised portals.
Mobility — from the employee to the customer
Mobile solutions for employees have meanwhile become es-
tablished. Time-saving and increases in productivity are re-
garded as the most important advantages of mobility. Now,
for the first time, customer satisfaction is also acquiring cen-
tral importance.
Security
Technologies facilitate adherence to legal and regulatory re-
quirements such as Basel II, Solvency II and the 8th
EU Direc-
tive for Information Management Compliance. For many IT
managers, compliance issues function as drivers for new se-
curity projects, such as single sign-on, identity management
and coded data filing.
Unified communications
Classic voice-over IP, video conferencing and the integration
of mobile telephony into company telephony are the reality in
only about 20 per cent of companies. However, soft phones,
instant messaging and location-based services will also play a
major role in the future. What is the best strategy?
The future of work — knowledge management
Communities and social networks constitute the new virtual
alternative organisational structure of a company. Use of the
new communication and information technologies enables
completely new forms of collaboration — independent of time
and place. As a result, we are seeing the emergence of new
value creation chains with decisive socio-political, social and
economic consequences.
Open Data
Since the EU Commission has made it clear that it is focusing
completely on establishing open data, the debate on common
standards is gaining momentum. In Austria, the open data en-
deavours had their beginnings in the towns. In the end, every-
one could benefit from its introduction.
ICT project organisation
How can competitive advantages be achieved through effi-
cient project management in rapidly changing market and
general conditions?
Studies and the current legal situation
What general organisational, legal and contractual conditions
have to be taken into consideration when implementing ICT
projects?

By earning Advanced Level Certificates, CPRE specialists
obtain internationally recognized proof of their expertise.
The IREB Advanced Level Certificate is modular in structure.
At present, CPRE Foundation Level specialists may earn the
Advanced Level Certificate in two fields: “Requirements Elici-
tation & Consolidation” and “Requirements Modeling”.
Requirements Elicitation & Consolidation
Advanced Level Module
The CPRE-AL Certificate in “Elicitation and Consolidation”
is designed to deepen the technique of fully identifying
and documenting requirements which was acquired in the
Foundation Level module. CPRE specialists learn adequate
techniques to recognize, identify, classify and consolidate
sources of requirements in software development.
Requirements Modeling Advanced Level Module
The Requirements Modeling module comprises the topics of
models and modeling, information modeling, function and be-
havior modeling, scenario modeling as well as how to work
with models and embed them in the overall development pro-
cess. The main focus is on the specific use of models for the
purpose of mapping information, functions, behaviors and sce-
narios.

Training
IREB provides the outline, contents, and timeframe for
achievement of training objectives as well as the topics for
practical exercises through its syllabus. Format and implemen-
tation of the training is up to the training provider.
IREB recommends attendance of a training course in prepa-
ration for the certification examination. However, attendance
of a training course is not a prerequisite for the examination.
Education at the foundation level addresses individuals
who work with requirements. It consists of basic knowledge
in the area of Requirements Engineering, i.e. surveying, an-
alyzing, specifying, documenting, checking, and administer-
ing requirements.
Certification
The “International Requirements En-
gineering Board” (IREB), which con-
sists of worldwide acknowledged
experts in the areas of industry, con-
sulting, research, and training, has
developed a syllabus for the area of
Requirements Engineering and created the certification “Cer-
tified Professional for Requirements Engineering”, based on
the syllabus.
The certification is awarded to those individuals who pass
the exam with the exam questions provided by the IREB. With
the certification holders get an independent record about the
achieved level of their training in Requirements Engineering.
Beyond the fact that common education creates an excel-
lent basis for an equal understanding of Requirements En-
gineering within a business and between business partners.

Future Network’s Management Forum, 21 March 2013
Medium-Term Forecast for Austrian Businesses
until 2017
Austria’s Role in the IT Market in the German-Speaking Countries
On Thursday, 21 March 2013, the annual event publicizing the economic forecast for the ICT industry took
place in the reception rooms of the Vienna Federation of Industry. The title of the event organized by Fu-
German-speaking Countries”.
By way of introduction, it can be said that, according to Mar-
cus Scheiblecker of WIFO (the Austrian Institute for Economic
Research), Austria’s economy will overall see real growth of
1%, followed by continuing subdued GDP growth of 1.8 to 2%
annually in the years 2014 to 2017. This can be considered a
small yet positive growth driver for the ICT industry.
There are no major differences between the ICT markets
in the German-speaking countries but subtle nuances can be
identified in respect of certain details. “The IT outsourcing
market in Austria is clearly less developed as it is in the rest
of the German-speaking countries or Europe as a whole,” said
Philipp Schalla of Pierre Audion Consults (PAC). In 2012, 14.3%
of IT spending in Europe went to outsourced services; with a
share of 8.8% Austria is lagging behind.
IT spending in Austria is still geared towards infrastruc-
ture whereas in Germany or Switzerland, application-related
expenditure accounts for a higher percentage. According to
PAC, this change is indicative of a market’s degree of maturity.
In the coming years, the shift will also be felt in Austria, says
PAC. IT outsourcing expenditure will see a 6.6% increase in
2013, and will in general rise above average until 2016. Spend-
ing on hardware will stagnate this year and decline in the me-
dium term.
According to analyst Philipp Schalla, the general West-
East divide continues to exist as the IT market in Eastern Eu-
rope is still even more focused on in-house work than in Aus-
tria.
In Austria, there is special potential for growth in relation
to current trends such as SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, BaaS (21%), cloud-
related project service & application management (37%), en-
terprise mobility (29%), big data (38%) and unified commu-
nications and collaboration (8%) [all percentages reflecting
annual growth rates]. Over the next three years, above-av-
erage growth can be expected in areas where the baseline is
relatively low: cloud services (more than 50%), cloud opera-
tions (more than 27%), big data (more than 42%) and mobil-
ity (30%). According to PAC, UCC (8%) and BI services (more
than 6%) are lagging behind somewhat.
Many of the forecasts were confirmed by representatives
of the Austrian ICT industry in the panel discussion following
the presentations.
Christian Polster, SVP CEE Managed Service with Atos,
considers the forecast growth rates as a positive signal, es-
pecially for CEE, a region which to his mind is on the thresh-
old to intensive outsourcing, mainly by nearshoring, and is
going to see major growth in the coming years. Big Ameri-
can investors in the industry are penetrating Eastern Euro-
pean markets, a development necessitating the availability

of modern ICT infrastructure and data centres on location.
Apart from Austria, Eastern Europe is a growth area for Atos
due to this strong potential. In addition to managed services,
Atos also offers its customers tailored private cloud services.
By contrast, Atos has not put special focus on public cloud ser-
vices so far. To drive development in this area, Atos agreed on
an Open Cloud Computing Strategic Alliance with EMV and
VMware, founding Canopy. Polster predicts that small cloud
providers will quickly find themselves in a dead end street if
they design services as rough outlines and continue develop-
ing for customers when the cloud is already in place. Profes-
sional cloud computing requires professional partners with
great clout and potential.
Atos itself relies on SaaS from a public cloud, such as
blueKiwi ZEN. Atos will introduce these software services as
a technological core component of its internal Zero EmailTM
initiative in the company. This is a global project aiming to
transform Atos into a social organisation with better em-
ployee work-life balance and more business synergies and ef-
ficiency. It anticipates future work environments by eliminat-
ing e-mail as the primary means of communication.
In conclusion, Polster emphasised that for Atos he could
see a “budding plant which will develop strongly” in the new
field of serious games.
Conversely, Jürgen Thier of A1 Telekom Austria stressed
that his company has been investing heftily in the field of pub-
lic cloud services for more than two years, and has since then
learnt a few lessons. Customers will be slow to respond; it is
a major challenge to bring them to the cloud. However, once
fundamental understanding has been achieved, offering solu-
tions to issues like mobility “becomes almost as easy as pie for
A1”. The focal product in the mobility segment for A1 is desk-
top outsourcing services for employees constantly on the go,
a constantly growing group. This is where Mr. Thier also sup-
ports his customers in matters of bring-your-own-device, of-
fering, in cooperation with partners, mobile device manage-
ment, including the indispensable complete security packages,
in the cloud. As customers increasingly rely on Telekom cloud
services, the data volume is rising tremendously and A1 Tele-
kom has become one of the largest computer centre opera-
tors of Austria.
As the largest convergent provider, A1 has been active in
IT outsourcing for some years, successfully offering, amongst
other things, virtualised services in the fields of data centre
services and desktop outsourcing. Virtualisation plays a major
role when it comes to greater employee mobility. There is no
need for every employee to have a top-notch PC on his/her
desk but employees also want to access corporate resources
easily via his/her devices while out and about.
Thier wants to help IT organisations so they are able to
support their business organisations proactively in respect of
BYOD and cloud services; this would help prevent IT organ-
isations from only being driven by users and lagging behind
in terms of technological progress. — Cloud solutions are an
opportunity for Austrian SMEs to gain much easier access to
complex high-class IT services as they outsource complexity
to A1. Thus, high initial investment costs are a thing of the
past and capacities can be easily adjusted to customer needs.
Jochen Borenich, COO Kapsch Business Com (KBC), also
considers cloud computing to be an important topic. He ob-
served that 80% of Austrian enterprises rely on a private cloud
solution. KBC supports their customer in the preparation and
operation of their private cloud solutions whilst also helping
them to ensure security when integrating public cloud sec-
tions in a hybrid approach.
In terms of outsourcing, KBC also sees strong growth po-
tential in CEE, where the company is active with great success.
Thus, growth in the outsourcing segment of KBC amounted
to 30% last year, which is twice the total market growth rate.
KBC is also a fine partner for customers in respect of big
data. Their approach involves data avoidance as a first stage,
followed by the necessary infrastructure extensions and even-
tually ends with the appraisal and analysis of data as a basis
for forecasts by means of BI.
Thanks to their traditional strong points in communica-
tions, Kapsch naturally also supports their customers when it
comes to handling the greatest driving force of all: mobility
initiatives. As an Apple-authorised system integrator (AASI)
Jürgen Thir (A1 Telekom Austria) Jochen Borenich (Kapsch BusinessCom AG)
15. 15
of the highest certification certification level, Kapsch is offer-
ing solutions in which the full potential of latest devices, such
as the iPhone 5, can be used within secure and fully integrated
mobility concepts.
In conclusion, Borenich underscored that enormous data
growth and collaboration made business protection and secu-
rity extremely important for their customers.
Daniel Holzinger, Managing Director of Colited, who
acted as the moderator of the event, summarised the posi-
tive mood among the representatives of the industry attend-
ing, and the promising outlook in relation to topics such as
cloud computing and outsourcing in the German-speaking
countries and CEE, and closed by thanking Future Network for
the great job they had done in organising the event. Daniel Holzinger (Colited)
