Market research
The CA../PPS-CIM - Market in Switzerland
Jan Stanek participated with Engineering Solutions AG (to that time as Stanek Consulting AG) in a
SPRINT-Project of European Union, which
has supported the CA..Technology Transfer across Europe. The precise
knowledge of the particular local market led to the market studies and
seminars in all eleven participating countries.
Switzerland
as a country with the worldwide highest "computer density" uses
extensivelly the CA..Technology and is considered as a testmarket for
Europe. For the small country three different languages and three
different keyboards are necessary for three areas of different
customers mentality.
Because
Switzerland is not yet member of European Union the participants in
EU-Projects have to look for support in the own country. Fortunately
the Institute for Informatique of University of Freiburg - which issued
all years the traditionally Swiss Computer Market Study - has been
interested in the CA../PPS-Market. A first pilot study was made in 1991
in cooperation of Stanek Consulting AG with Institute of Prof. Dr.
Ambros Luethi by Thomas Schaller, lic.rer.pol and Jan Stanek,
Dipl.Ing.SIA. The next issue 1993 was a fully electronically supported
study (see the Doctor Theses of Dr. rer. pol. Thomas Schaller), which
consists of a user study and a vendor study. The different sights of a
user and of a vendor can be directly compared.
A
following CA..Market Study was issued 1996 by Stanek Consulting AG. The
next study 1996/1997 has not been finished, because it was too uneasy
to get the market data and the demand was decreasing. We were watching
the market and the trends in the development of information technology,
the impact of it on the organization, on the management and on the
employees.
CA../PPS-CIM Market in Europe
All the partners in the
SPRINT-Project
examined the CA..Market and practised the Technology Transfer for years
and after the SPRINT program has been finished a CATN
Limited was founded and
registered in Great Britain. All partners are share holders of the new
company and continue to offer the knowledge and services on the local
and european marketplace.
