EURESCOM ADOPTS NEW BUSINESS APPROACH TO COLLABORATIVE R&D
17 May 2002 - European Institute for Research and Strategic Studies in Telecommunications GmbH (EURESCOM)

The core element of the new business model is the expansion of the organisation to include all the organisations in the telecomm domain. This includes traditional and new players, who want to use collaborative R&D to speed up the migration to new systems and technologies and to multiply the impact of their R&D resources. All telecomm-focussed organisations now have the opportunity to become a member of EURESCOM or to employ the professional project and programme management services of EURESCOM.

Since EURESCOM was founded in 1991, it has been working almost exclusively for European telecom network operators and service providers. 'For a long time, EURESCOM was a traditional operators club,' says Dr. Claudio Carrelli, director of EURESCOM, 'but in the global economy of today, this model is no longer appropriate'.

EURESCOM is now open to vendors and suppliers as well as network operators and service providers. Moreover, EURESCOM will put emphasis on the commercial offering of R&D project and programme management services.

Members have preferred access to the services and the exclusive opportunity to participate in EURESCOM's own R&D work programme. In the new business, EURESCOM will offer comprehensive R&D project and programme management services for very attractive prices, typically a very small percentage of the value of the managed project or programme.

The company has set itself ambitious goals. But Dr. Carrelli is sure: 'We are extremely competitive and attractive for companies who want to have a good return on their R&D investment.'
