Abstract
Telework is an application area, which still possesses a large growth potential. The flexibility in the dimensions time and location of task execution stands for an innovative work organisation form. However, the main obstacle of telework is an increasing effort that has to be made for process co-ordination and monitoring. Therefore the objective of the COBIP project is to increase the competitiveness of the companies by providing a workflow-based infrastructure that is capable of supporting and enhancing necessary interaction and cooperation methods. This document shows the results of the COBIP project in different areas of application, i.e. telework within a media and design company, in the body shop of a car manufacturer and telework in systems integration.
