Companies launch networked software research initiative
Simon Taylor writes in InfoWorld:
Thirteen software and telecommunications companies are launching a consortium to work together to develop new software and services based on open standards.
The organization, Networked European Software and Services Initiative (NESSI), which will be officially launched on Sept. 7 in Brussels, aims to tap into European research initiatives to develop new services architectures and software infrastructure.
The consortium brings together telecommunications companies from the U.K., Spain, Finland, and Italy, software companies like IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and SAP, and IT service and systems providers such as Atos Origin and Thales Group.
The initiative aims to help Europe develop a "knowledge-based economy" in line with the European Union's Lisbon strategy of boosting competitiveness and growth by encouraging innovation, according to a representative of one of the companies involved in the consortium.
