SMEs
Today, European SMEs employ more than 74 million people while at the same time generating the majority of radical innovations and technological breakthroughs. As such, SMEs constitute one of the pillars for economic and social development in Europe.
ECSS & NESSI work in close collaboration to provide support & information to SMEs interested in Service and Software Architectures, Infrastructure and Engineering fields.

Launched in September 2005 by 13 partners and enlarged in June 2006 to 22 partners and over 200 members, NESSI aims to address the major changes that are driving the IT services marketplace. Indeed, today this marketplace is changing dramatically, due to a series of factors:
- Businesses and the Public Sector, which require flexibility to keep up with the ever increasing pace of change caused by globalisation and technological innovation.
- A continuing shift toward increasingly made-to-order solutions, which changes the balance of demand from products to services and from monolithic do-it-all applications to ad hoc service components and customised software solutions.
- The clear emergence of Open Source Software, which nourishes the dynamics of the ICT marketplace and creates an “eco-system” that fosters opportunities by: increasing options and competition, aligning to open standards objectives, positioning software as a public good, improving technological self-reliance, increasing transparency, minimising security risk while optimising costs.
- The broader uptake by end-users, which is gaining momentum, leads to new needs such as ubiquitous access, ease of use, personalisation and trusted transactional capabilities on all types of platforms, from embedded systems to distributed environments.
NESSI aims to provide a unified view for European research in Services Architectures and Software Infrastructures that will define technologies, strategies and deployment policies fostering new, open, industrial solutions and societal applications that enhance the safety, security and well-being of citizens.
