The document summarizes key findings from 7 studies conducted by the Sectoral e-Business Watch in 2009 on the topics of ICT, e-business, and sustainable economic activity. The studies found that ICT has the potential to increase sustainability in production and transport by making these sectors more energy efficient. Specifically, the studies found that higher levels of ICT capital investment are linked to greater production sustainability in energy-intensive industries. However, while ICT can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, doing so through ICT may be more expensive than other abatement technologies. The studies also examined the role of ICT in transforming the energy supply industry towards more sustainable "smart grids" and found both opportunities and barriers to deploying

Full Study - Digital Roadblock: Marketers Struggle to Reinvent ThemselvesAdobe
We’ve all heard it: The future of marketing is digital. Get on board or get left behind. So what’s holding marketers back?
We surveyed more than 1,000 U.S. marketers to explore how they’re evolving in the digital age, where they need help and what their priorities are going forward. This is the full results from our Digital Roadblock study.
This document discusses strategies for making versus buying (insourcing versus outsourcing). It provides factors to consider for each option, such as cost, capacity, expertise, control, and flexibility. For making/insourcing, considerations include using excess capacity, quality control, and design secrecy. For buying/outsourcing, factors include unreliable internal production, risk mitigation, and accessing supplier expertise. A cost analysis is recommended to determine the most economical choice. Insourcing and outsourcing may also be used to reverse previous decisions when supply issues occur. Outsourcing risks like loss of control and supplier problems must be considered.

DDAY2014 - Ecologia del valore e DRUPAL@Engineering: l’esperienza di un grand...DrupalDay
1. Engineering International Belgium has been using Drupal since 2008 to develop websites for the European Commission, including the Europa portal which receives 165 million views per month.
2. The Next Europa project aims to transform all EC communications to be more digital, coherent, and cost-effective by consolidating websites and reducing content.
3. Engineering International Belgium's Drupal team in Brussels has grown to over 15 developers and architects working on projects to develop and maintain Drupal-based websites and portals for various branches of the European Commission.
The document discusses the benefits of e-procurement in Europe and barriers to its adoption. E-procurement and e-invoicing could save over 5% of European GDP annually by reducing transaction costs, but currently less than 5% of procurement is done electronically. Key barriers include a fragmented legal framework, lack of resources and IT infrastructure for e-procurement systems, and limited awareness and skills among public agencies and suppliers. The EC should help accelerate the switch to online procurement, simplify procedures, and support solutions that make cross-border e-procurement easier for suppliers.
This document provides an agenda and details for the 5th European EXPP Summit on E-Invoicing and E-Billing taking place on September 21-22, 2009 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Over 200 specialists and end-users from more than 20 countries are expected to attend. The summit will include presentations and panel discussions on topics such as e-invoicing initiatives in various European countries, the role of e-invoicing in procurement and financial supply chains, international e-invoicing deployments, and the e-invoicing market in Latin America. Fifteen leading solution providers will also exhibit their e-invoicing, e-billing, and e-document solutions.

This document discusses smart cities and open data initiatives in Europe. It notes that by 2050, two-thirds of people will live in cities, which face challenges like pollution and stress. Open data can enable economic opportunities, better governance, address societal challenges, and accelerate scientific progress. The European Commission's strategies aim to promote open data reuse and develop a pan-European open data infrastructure. Several Horizon 2020 programs provide funding for smart city projects involving energy, transport, ICT and open data platforms.
