“Future SMEs will be part of online collaborative networks responding dynamically to changing market conditions”
The Collaborative Commerce Marketplace (CCM) is an eBusiness research and technology transfer model providing unrivalled online advanced eBusiness tools. The model focuses on finding out how SME skills and competencies, rather than existing products and services, can be exploited. For example, the WMCCM project enables eBusiness for SMEs in the West Midlands region of the UK. This has resulted in the generation of over £4.6million of new work and has 4,500 members (www.wmccm.co.uk).
