In the past few years we have been working on several research projects in the area of inter-organizational systems. New concepts, methodologies, and standards have been developed and been well acknowledged by the research community.Based on results from our last research project, we decided to found our own business in 2011. Will the market accept the results and can we sustain the existing competition on the market? Which compromises have to be made?
In this talk we give an insight into the experiences we have made, and the obstacles we had to master during our journey from university to market.

Furthermore, he is interested in Java-based Web-application development and frameworks.
