| Information Sciences develops e3value methodology e3value methodology helps you to develop innovative networked services. These days, an ever increasing range of innovative services are being offered by networks of companies. For instance, while you can buy ringtones via Web shops you still need the assistance of a mobile operator to install them on your mobile phone. Then there is the person who composed the ringtone, who also wants their cut. E3value was developed by the “business informatics” research group, in close collaboration with international companies and consultancies. The e3value methodology is employed in many sectors of industry including entertainment, news, internet service provision, banking, trade documents and energy generation.
