Development of Digital Business Ecosystems (DBE) is commonly associated with a top-down, grant-funded approach that aims to encourage service-based co-operation between organisations. The implementation of DBEs is often focused on specific tasks and the implementation of new processes. Projects are often linked to time-limited funding resources and rely on a willingness between organisations to collaborate towards specific goals. The expectation is often that through the reconfiguration of processes via DBE technology and the sheer focus of effort, the outcomes will be dramatic and often revolutionary in nature. However in reality the sustainability and impact of these projects varies widely. In terms of the wider DBE concept, the result of these projects is often a legacy of systems integration and process addition, rather than of process evolution in the DBE. The SAMSON project aims to take a different approach to the development of a DBE by using the technology as a catalyst to support and aid future developments in a regional learning community, rather than attempting a systems overhaul. The project is developing services to encourage the use of emerging standards-based technology in existing processes. These developments are forming the community DBE that aims to enhance the existing processes and encourage innovation in the domain in a sustainable manner.
