The i-Service Initiative
The i-Service Initiative was founded in November 2012 by some select technology providers and IT strategists such as, among others, the management consultancy b.telligent. In addition, Lithium, iTyX and Corporate Quality were among the founding businesses. The reason for the formation of the alliance was the intention to make a contribution to the reduction of innovation obstacles in the field of service communication. In this context, the i-Service Initiative primarily wants to take forward-looking action and encourage and support businesses in actively shaping the unstoppable transition from a classic service economy to a cross-linked service society and in regarding the continuous change as driver for the development of new and progressive innovations. Businesses should use the opportunity given to them by the change of the consumers' communication behavior and thus simplify and accelerate their service processes and make them more efficient. The primary objective of the i-Service Initiative is to create a joint communication platform and thus report on interesting and new concepts. For this reason, the i-Service Initiative is open to the admission of further innovative businesses, as well.
