Important results from the project
The goal of the project was to develop ´Shutterflow´ - an innovative web-based platform for workflow management within the global school photo market. The R&D activities performed in the course of the project have enabled the successful realisation of the R&D goal. Shutterflow has been developed together with all the assumed technical and functional features. The platform will be commercialized during 2014. The result of the project has strengthened ABC-Group´s long-term competitiveness and growth opportunities in Sweden and internationally.
Expected long term effects
The project has made it possible for ABC-Group to develop its routines regarding implementation of advanced R&D projects in cooperation with external experts. The new competence platform generated during the project will be used in future R&D undertakings. Shutterflow is expected to generate first revenue already in 2014. The technical functionality of the platform will determine its long-term competitive edge on the international school photo market.
Approach and implementation
The project has been implemented in accordance with the project plan presented in the application. However, the R&D works have been delayed due to recruitment of new employees that would complete the internal project group. During the project, we have also made the strategic decision to use external expertise to a greater extent than we assumed. The decision has proven to be correct and Shutterflow´s technical features have been developed with good results.
