Potential for learning or transfer
It is transferrable. The eBusiness-Lotse supported round about 70.000 companies in the district of chamber (of industry) and commerce Magdeburg in the North of Saxony-Anhalt. Approximately 80 % of these companies have less than 50 employees, more than 40 % of them have less than 20 employees. Due to the low number of employees many SMEs don't have their own IT department. In this case, the eBusiness-Lotse supported these SMEs with using ICT.
