and software design and reducing the environmental impact of data centers. 12 The Innovation Biosphere The main challenge for IT companies is eco-efficient IT with economical use of raw materials, low energy consumption and an emphasis on recyclability.

This experience helps reuse the available software modules and designers'know-how. In the automotive (and aviation) industry, supercomputers are used to design vehicles incorporating new forms

In fact, CRM software contains confidential information about clients (customer capital), and companies are not keen to use cloud for processing.

They are afraid to use clouds for processing of their specific activity supporting software because they do not trust the cloud security system.

As a result, we often have to change our devices because the hardware, operating system, applications, interfaces,

Therefore, every new software release is an opportunity for process innovation in an organization and a challenge to take maximum advantage of this opportunity. 2 Different Roles of Enterprise Systems in Process Innovation The following section describes the main roles that an enterprise system can have in a process innovation scenario.

This scenario relates to changes in the enterprise system (e g. new software releases and adding mobile computing components) triggering the process innovation.

Another field of application is the implementation of an enterprise systems extension, like customer relationship management software or the establishment of a common integration platform along a supply chain.

A further subject will be how innovations can be converted from confidence-based to evidence-based models due to affordances of digital infrastructures such as large-scale enterprise software or social media.

While some of these technologies, such as enterprise system software, have been around for decades, recent years have seen also a rapid uptake of modern digital infrastructures that transcend the business-private life boundary, such as social networking platforms,

Your insights enrich our ability to anticipate the outlook for R&d funding. Jeffrey Wadsworth, Ph d. President and CEO Battelle CEO MESSAGE Key Contributors Mitch Horowitz Simon Tripp Anthony Gillespie Eric Rosenberg Pamela Mccoy

Significant R&d investments by western countries in long-range technology platforms like robotics, highperformance computing, social media, software, costeffective energy sources and nanobiotechnology could stimulate rapid industry

R&d investments often are linked closely to GDP and economic outlook. Global R&d investments, according to our analysis, are forecast to increase in 2014 and 2015 albeit at a decreasing rate in 2015.

The exception to this outlook may be Japan, which is correlated more with trends in the U s. and Europe than with neighboring Asian countries.

Outlook The broad patterns of R&d spending are expected not to change significantly in 2014, but regional shifts are occurring.

Factors that Influence the 2014 Outlook for U s. R&d Except for a dip in the 1970s at the point where industry surpassed government as the dominant research sponsor,

However, the outlook involves substantial uncertainty. In one scenario, BCA-mandated continued reductions in non-defense discretionary spending could result in lower R&d funding.
