Plan4Business portal now online available
05.02.2014: The plan4business development team has designed and implemented the first operational implementation of the plan4business service platform. There will be two main implementations of the system.
One is for non-expert users enabling browsing the content, viewing the thematic compositions and predefined analysis and core pan-European datasets such as Urban Atlas and Corine Land Cover.
The other implementation is targeted at experts users who are additionally able to create own map compositions, perform own analysis, integrate spatial data into the common data model based on INSPIRE, download certain datasets or use the developed Application Programming Interface (API).
The prototypes are used mainly for testing purposes and no charges will apply. The portal for non-expert users is publicly available. Your feedback is appreciated. Please stay tuned and follow this website for further details.
Or look at the portal on http://www.whatstheplan.eu/.
Another operational implementation of the plan4Business platform is the polish tender search engine http://www.askwhere.eu / http://www.askwhere.com.pl.

plan4business Questionnaire
08.04.2014: The plan4business team has designed and implemented the operational plan4business service platform that is available at http://www.whatstheplan.eu.
The feedback on the platform is going on. First results show a high percentage of satisfaction, but also very constructive remarks and questions related to the platform. Please continue to give your feedback through this questionnaire, so we can continuously update the quality of the services and data! Many thanks in advance.

D3.1 Requirements Analysis and System Specification
D 3.1 Requirements Analysis and System Specification
This document is the final version of the Deliverable D 3.1. As a basis to management requirements, an analysis of requirements and specification of system has been examined. This analysis considers the palette of requirements coming from the different stakeholders, considering the data itself but also the services related; this analysis includes the planning instruments and planning issues. Related to this analysis, the involvement of the Stakeholder Board (SB) has an important role, by high-quality inputs and by targeting and identifying specific requirements (see 2.1 Management structure). -
D3.2.1 Requirements Management and Development Infrastructure - part 1
D3.2.1_Requirements Management and Development Infrastructure_Part1
This deliverable describes the infrastructure for managing the requirements and for supporting the collaborative development among the project partners.

The document reports on setting up the IT infrastructure required for the analysis phase and also later in the development and integration phases. It introduces the issue tracking web system Redmine and its adoption to the methodology. Further it reports on the current status of the requirements gathering and tracking work as well as on the future planning. The document is a working document, which will be constantly updated. The final version will be completed in PM20. -

D6.1 System integration plan
D6.1 System Integration Plan
The system integration plan describes the approach for integrating different components of the plan4business platform into the final infrastructure. The plan should assure efficient work among the project team. The main goal of the project is to design and establish a platform fulfilling the needs of different groups of users. The functionalities of the system are driven by user requirements that were gathered at the beginning of the project and documented in deliverable D3.1. The functional design of the system starts from this input, but it is important to recognize it as a continuous, user-driven process. Under these circumstances, the Agile software development methodology is a proper approach. -
