ShannonSoft
is for organisations that rely on
software technology and, more
importantly, on software practitioners,
to meet their business objectives.
Software companies are clearly included,
but so too are:-
Companies which embed software
within their products or services
- telecomms, control &
instrumentation, etc.
Companies which apply information
technology to their business
processes - manufacturing,
logistics, financial services.
Organisations which supply
support products and services -
fulfilment, printing, call
centres, translation,
consultancy, etc.
Information Technology, Software
Engineering, Management
Information Systems, Computing
Services.
ShannonSoft
addresses issues common to all these
functions. It is the application of
software technology to one or more facet
of an organisation's business operations
that is the unifying theme.
The diversity of members accommodated
within ShannonSoft
is one of its key strengths. ShannonSoft
is neither a professional organisation
nor a trade association. As a largely
informal club, it seeks to collaborate
with such entities without duplicating
their activities.
Organisations within the Shannon region
which develop or apply software
technologies, or which support
organisations that do, are invited to
join the ShannonSoft inititiative.
Members share experiences and
practices, develop initiatives, lend
their support to specific proposals, and
reap the benefits of participating in a
business network for a software region.
