Abstract

Traditional manufacturing business is changing its shape to service industry. In addition to products, manufacturers are also providing specialized knowledge-based services. Although ICT is an enabler for such operations, its support for the activities of the networks of companies is still quite unknown. In these settings, ICT-related challenges are multifold. In this paper findings from a case study on constructing ICT support for industrial service business are presented. Technological challenges in designing and implementing systems to support daily business operations of industrial service business are listed.
