Software Industry Research Team (SIRT)Research Projects(Publications related to the projects are on the Publications page.) Need4SpeedInternet service providers have widely adopted agile software development, continuous deployment and continuous observation of customer behavior as the practice for doing business. The N4S program planned to run four years (2014-2017) aims at improving continuous deployment, deep customer understanding and mercury business practices of participating firms. Internet of Things (IoT)In the near future the internet and wireless technologies will connect different sources of information such as sensors, mobile phones and cars in an ever tighter manner. The number of devices which connect to the internet is – seemingly exponentially – increasing. We need new, scalable, compatible and secure solutions for both the management of the ever more broad, complexly-networked Internet of Things, and also for the support of various business models. The IoT pogram planned to run four years (2012-2015) aims at creating framework for study within the given field and also to clearly define the central research objectives. http://www.internetofthings.fi/ Cloud Software BusinessThe Cloud Software Program organized by TIVIT Oy brings together 22 Finnish enterprises and 7 research institutions. The Cloud Software program (2010-2013) funded by Tekes aims to significantly improve the competitive position of Finnish software intensive industry in global markets. Our Software Industry Research Team (SIRT) researching Cloud Business includes Lauri Frank, Eetu Luoma, Oleksiy Mazhelis, Oskari Miettinen, Arto Ojala, Mirja Pulkkinen and Pasi Tyrväinen (WP1 Leader). OssoBucoThis project analyzes the challenges and risks related to open-source software and the possibilities of the Software as a Service (SaaS) model to address these problems. The project aims at the describing the business models enabling the actors of the telecommunications industry to achieve competitive advantage by exploiting both the open-source software and the SaaS service model. The project is funded by Tekes (VERSO programme) and the companies Nokia Siemens Networks, Mirafor Associates and Qvantel. The research activity is performed by the University of Jyväskylä during 3/2010 – 12/2010. Researchers, Lauri Frank, Eetu Luoma, Oskari Miettinen, Pasi Tyrväinen. SEC- SaaS-Enabled CSPProject SEC analyzes the impacts, opportunities and consequences of adopting the software as a service (SaaS) approach for the software segment of communication services provisioning (CSP). The existing and emerging service provider roles and business opportunities in the business network of OSS/BSS software, related services and CSPs will be explored. A legacy of CSP technologies, processes and software comprise the set of constants, and the rapid change in the business models through Saas/BTaaS, modifiable service packaging, value added services (both content and communication based) and customer orientation as the variables are the premise for the study which results to business opportunities/key enablers, emerging trends and envisioned developments of the OSS/BSS segment. The project is funded by Tekes and the companies Nokia Siemens Networks, Mikkelin Puhelin, and Qvantel. The research activity is performed by the University of Jyväskylä during 1/2009 – 03/2010 SmarTop - Software Market Analysis, Case Telecom Operator ProductsThe project aims at finding out the status of horizontalization of software and services, the current and possible future de facto standardization of software interfaces and the evolving of the roles of the providers and the operators in the software development. As a starting point, the current business processes and technologies used in the telecom operator business and the development trends of the processes and technologies are surveyed. The current and future technologies in telecom are taken into account, and a methodic way to study the current situation and trends is tested and developed further. The development of software markets is analyzed using bench-mark data and matching with vertical segmentation in other industries. The processes are focused on that are fully or mostly software supported. The targeted result is a method for analyzing the software market for this vertical market. The method was created in previous exploration of other vertical software markets, and the target is to customize and develop this method to a software market analysis tool for the telecom sector. A model of vertical software market evolution is used as the framework for organizing market data and the results of previous studies on other software markets. Further results lay out possible development paths and future scenarios on this market. This two-year project (1.1.2007 - 31.12.2008) is funded by the Finnish National Technology Agency (Tekes), and sponsored by Nokia Networks, Tecnomen, Comptel, Nethawk and MPY (Finnet group). Researchers: Eetu Luoma, Oleksiy Machelis, Mirja Pulkkinen (project manager), Pasi Tyrväinen (scientific leader), Heli Koski (ETLA / HSE), Olli Martikainen (ETLA / UO), Kimo Suojapelto (LUT).

Although sales of digital content is growing fast most of the content is still acquired from unauthorized sources, e.g. file sharing in peer-to-peer networks. User acceptance for digital content delivery and marketing techniques and digital rights management (DRM) has been low due to various problems related to contemporary systems and business models used. Potential new approaches suggested for overcoming these problems include peer-to-peer marketing and fair use techniques, but so far have not been evaluated in real-life environments. This project analyzes technical means and models for marketing digital content products (especially music and games) in a live test environment. The project implements a set of virtual content distributors (VCD) applying alternative operation models to marketing digital content for selected target audiences. User behaviour is analyzed and various result parameters (market volume, user count, user demographics, gate keeper satistics) are compared with the technology and business model parameters of the VCD (fair use support, customer sales rewarding model etc.). This project is executed in Tekes technology program Verso. The research activity is performed by University of Jyväskylä in collaboration with Helsinki Institute of Information Technology, TeliaSonera Oyj, Dr.Elma Oy, Teosto ry, and ÄKT during 1/2009 – 12/2010. Dr. Elma - Digital Rights and metadata management for Electronic Learning MAterials.Dr.Elma focuses on management of digital rights information and metadata from the publisher's or distributor's perspective by answering to
the following questions: what is the integrated data model for digital rights management (DRM) - rights management data, contracts, metadata, schemes for user, asset and group management etc.- and what are the efficient processes for management - metadata and rights data capture, conversions, queries, distribution, business processes etc. In addition, the requirements set by material production and multi-channel publishing to the rights management are investigated. The project started 1.4.2002 and finished in Spring 2005. It is funded by Tekes, JSOP Oy (KPY/DNA), Jyväskylän Teknologiakeskus Oy, Kirjavälitys Oy, Legosoft Oy, Metso Paper Oy, Republica Oy, and Kustannusosakeyhtiö Otava Oy and implemented in a co-operation with University library / virtual university of Jyväskylä and VTT Information technology laboratory. The two pilot implementations targeted rights capture and management of learning materials at the University library of Jyväskylä University and rights management of digital product presentation management at Metso corporation. A spin-off company Dr.Elma Oy / Ltd was established to commercialize the results. INTO - Software products from vertical markets to global marketsThis project focused on software products developed in or for non-ICT industries on six vertical markets: retail, energy, finance, paper, machine, and construction industries. The aim of the project was to define a technology program for Tekes, the National Technology Agency of Finland, for bringing the best software products of the vertical markets to the global marketplace. Into www-pages at Tekes (in Finnish). The project was funded by Tekes and co-ordinated by Mrs. Irmeli Lamberg at Technopoli Ventures. Schedule: 6/2004 - 3/2005. The report (PDF) presenting the results and proposing a technology program of about 200 M€ for five years was published November 2005. As a result, Tekes launched a new 5-year technology program VERSO for supporting development and commercialisation of Vertical Software Solutions.
