The FACIT SME project targets to facilitate the use of Software Engineering (SE) methods and to systematize their application in IT SMEs. It will provide methods for efficient and affordable certification of these processes according to internationally accepted standards. Furthermore, it will help the SMEs to share best practices, tools and experiences with development partners and customers.
ICT SME communities (organized by associations) will experience significant benefit through the exchange of recent knowledge and best practises.



FACIT-SME is driven by five associations
representing small and medium IT enterprises

Asociación de Industrias de las Tecnoligias Electrónicas y de la información    Confederación Española de Empresas de Tecnologías de la Información, Comunicaciones 
y Electroníca    Hungarian Association of IT Companies

CONFAPI PMI Modena    Pan European ICT & eBusiness Network for SMEs
