SCRAIM among the finalists at ‘Caixa Empreender Award 2016’ !
Published on 2016-02-15
Pedro Castro Henriques, CEO, and César Duarte, CTO, attended ‘Caixa Empreender Award 2016’ on February 3rd. SCRAIM’s entrepreneurial initiative was chosen as one of the seven most innovative and promising startups of 2016 in Portugal.
‘Caixa Empreender Award 2016’ was an event that assembled several national and international investors, startups, incubators, research centers, and universities to select the best startup companies of 2015. This award was intended to promote integration among these players, in an effort to boost knowledge sharing through workshops and valuable talks.
The main goal of ‘Caixa Empreender Award 2016’ was to reward the most promising startups from the ones identified through partnerships with Portuguese Acceleration programs.
Caixa Capital has invested €750k in 7 startups from Act by COTEC, BGI by ISCTE/MIT Portugal, inRes by CMU-Portugal, Lisbon Challenge by Beta-i, Startup Braga and Startup Lisboa Boost. All of them had the opportunity to pitch at Caixa Empreender Award to compete for an additional €100k in a convertible note.

Scraim receives 50 thousand euros from Caixa Capital
Published on 2015-12-10
It's still eligible to receive another prize of 100 thousand euros
by entering the “Caixa Empreender Awards” contest and it also aims to
implant their business on the US market.
The spin-off project
from Strongstep - Scraim - will receive funding equal to 50 thousand
euros from Caixa Capital, stemming from the partnership between this
Caixa Geral de Depósitos operation and the Carnegie Mellon University
Portugal (CMU Portugal) program.
The project is recognized by the
venture capital bank as the most promising out of four projects,
developed during this year's edition of the inRes program, a CMU
Portugal initiative for the acceleration of business projects.
Founded
amidst the UPTEC context in Oporto, Scraim can still receive an
aditional 100 thousand euros from the “Caixa Empreender Award”. The
already obtained prize money will support the operation to raise the 1.2
million dollars that Strongstep's CEO Pedro Castro Henriques hopes to
raise in order to guarantee the sustenance of the startup's activity on
the US market.
Scraim settles its strategy in the providing of an
online service for an integrated management of processes, which
promotes the acceleration of international certifications' achievement
progress as well as the relief of human labor and financial effort.
The
spin-off states that it can reduce the certification period of
management processes from 12 months to 3 and its costs from 180 thousand
euros to 30 thousand, all this without resorting to external
consultancy services.
This capacity is based in two key elements,
as the CEO firmly declared during inRes 2015's results presentation.
The first is the use of pre-developed processes that are adaptable and
can cover all lifecycles while the second is the evaluation and
automatic analysis of stock control with certifications in mind.
According
to Castro Henriques, the service was born from the knowledge and
experience accumulated from developingprojects in various companies and
clients, such as BPI, Alert and the Hospital center of Vila Nova de
Gaia.
“We noticed that the same problems were occurring over and
over again during the certification process in many organizations”, he
said.
At the moment the company is developing pilot-projects in
the USA with the CMMI Institute, e360 and Kopo. It has established a
partnership to provide the service through the World's largest investor
based in Silicon Valley, the incubator Plug and Play. Finally, it has
also partnered with the Founder Institute and the startup accelerator
Thrill Mill.
The other 3 initiatives that took part on this year's edition of inRes were:
-
Playsketch: a developer of applications that allow anyone to create
mobile platform games through sketches made on paper which are scanned
later on. It aims to explore the possibility of offering people the
opportunity to create their own games. It has functional prototypes and
is counting on launching their beta versions very soon.
-
AdapTech: a biomedical company that develops smart and wearable
technologies to help people with physical limitations. The product is a
complete solution for the adaptation of prosthetics, able to optimize
the patients' adaptation to the fitting.
- Sceelix: it owns a
software with the same name that allows 3D game designers to create
virtual and complex sets, such as fields, cities and forests in a more
efficient and easy way. It provides a visual language to define rules
and algorithms that produce these sets in an automatic way.

"Portuguese entrepreneurs visit Silicon Valley” featured at BIT!
Published on 2015-11-05
AdaptTech,
Playsketch, Sceelix and Scraim were the companies which visited Silicon
Valley this week under inRes, a business acceleration program sponsored
by Carnegie Mellon University Portugal and financed by the Foundation
for Science and Technology (FCT).
These teams were joined by three startup teams who participated in the 2014 edition: AddVolt, Followprice and Xhockware.
João
Claro, national director of CMU Portugal, said in a statement that "the
four teams that are participating at this year's inRes have already
gone through an intensive period of training and business development in
Pittsburgh and CMU, where each team partook in more than 50 meetings,
organized workshops with potential users and participated in events
attended by potential customers, partners and investors." João Claro
also reinforces that "this exposure to Silicon Valley will allow them to
continue to apply and develop their communication, business and
leadership skills of technology-based projects."
"The immersion
in Silicon Valley appears linked to the presence of CMU in the
region,allowing teams to establish contacts with the technological
ecosystem and local entrepreneurship. Providing this proximity and
access to business - as potential investors, partners or customers - has
always been a concern of ours as an organization and the implementation
has brought unique and very positive results", said João Claro.
During
this week in Silicon Valley, the teams will visit and meet companies
like Facebook, Twitter and Uber, will make presentations to potential
users, partners and investors and will also have the opportunity to
interact with business accelerators.
In a statement, those
responsible for this program explain that inRes differentiates itself by
being devoted to projects that are in a very critical and specific
transition phase of development.
"Immersion in such a rich
ecosystem of contacts acts as a driving factor for the teams'
development and the assertion of its products and services in the
market. That is a priceless advantage for the teams as it makes our
entrepreneurs and their projects more competitive and strong in the
market. In the meantime, this presence on site gives them knowledge and
skills to better manage their startups today and in the future”, says
the national director of the program.
Besides the presence in
Silicon Valey, the support of Caixa Capital is also a novelty of this
edition of inRes, where they will award a 50 000 EUR investment to one
of the participant projects, which will also be eligible to collect an
aditional 100 000 EUR investment under the “Caixa Empreender Award”.
On
December 3rd, at Culturgest, the CMU Portugal Program will hold a
closing session for the 2015 edition of inRes, which will feature the
testimony of both the 2014 and 2015 teams in person.

Scraim has a brand new document management system!
Published on 2015-10-27
In addition to a completely renewed process module and menu, Scraim has also updated its document management system.
These changes are geared to improve communication and teamwork indexes by reducing the overall cost, complexity and time associated with managing a project's resources. With this new feature you will be able to sort your work in both documents and folders, each with their set of details to help you choose what's best for you. Documents can be organized by version/revision and blocked while both types can be deleted and be marked for e-mail notifications, which will be triggered every time a change is made.
It's also possible to create different kinds of symbolic links that will establish a quick gateway for your data. You can send them (or a direct reference for the folder/document of choice, should you prefer) via e-mail or simply let them sit on your work area. It's also possible to create special connections (or macros) in you Wiki directly to a document/folder or one of its gateways, all to help you cut the number of steps between you and your data down to the bare minimum.
Furthermore, you can move your stuff around more quickly in single manner or by bundling them in groups. Simply use the feature provided in the folder/document screen or either check the resources meant to change place or drag them to the assigned area and you'll be able to import and/or export your data more quickly.
All of this is already waiting for you. GET SCRAIMING!

Agile Project Management Workshop received positively in the USA - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Published on 2015-10-12
Scraim and Strongstep held a workshop on Agile Project Management last week, on September 30th, in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This workshop was centered around the use of Scraim, an online service of integrated projects based on adaptive processes to help standardize good practices across the organization - speeding up CERTIFICATION.
César Duarte, product manager of Scraim, and Pedro Castro Henriques, software engineer consultant, were the speakers at the event where several participants were in attendance, including Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), CMMI Institute and several startups.
The goals of the workshop for Scraim team were to validate the tool in real time with American companies and get feedback from American/international users as well as the performance of some agile management using the tool – with real life assignments. By performing these tasks, users had the opportunity to learn about Agile Project Management with a more "hands-on" approach.
For the participants, the goals of this workshop were to understand Agile project management principles, gain awareness of good practices that can be applied and receive the coveted “Introduction to Agile Project Management” certificate awarded by Strongstep and Scraim.
Scraim congratulates all involved in the event organization for its great success.

Scraim is one of the four young entrepreneurial teams rocking the USA according to Oje!

" Young Portuguese entrepreneurs emerge in the USFour teams of entrepreneurs - AdaptTech, Playsketch, Sceelix and Scraim - will carry out an intensive training and interrelationship schedule in the US city of Pittsburgh and on Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) under the inRES, a business acceleration program in the field of Information and Communication Technologies.
The program, sponsored by the CMU Portugal, allows portuguese entrepreneurs to have a workspace in Project Olympus, a business accelerator owned by CMU.
The agenda also includes attendance in various relevant initiatives in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation with LaunchCMU, an initiave promoted by CMU's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, being one of the examples. There the INRES teams will showcase their projects not only by taking part in an exhibition but also through a pitch.
João Claro, national director of CMU Portugal, notes that the 2014 INRES edition "beyond their planned attendance, the teams also seized unpredictable opportunities to participate in events with prominent presences, such as Addvolt, which won a pitch contest that it ended up unexpectedly attending."
This year INRES has retained the support of Caixa Capital by assigning an investment of 50 000 euros to an integrant project of the 2015 edition, a project that will still be eligible to secure the additional investment of 100 000 euros under the "Caixa Empreender Award".
INRES is an initiative of the CMU Portugal program, financed by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) and supported by the Conselho de Reitores das Universidades Portuguesas (CRUP), in partnership with CMU,the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance (PRA),Caixa Capital ,the UTEN Portugal and INESC TEC. More information at www.cmuportugal.org.The INRES teams in 2015:AdaptTech (www.adapttech.pt) - incubated in UPTEC, AdaptTech operates in the biomedical field, using innovative, smart and wearable technologies to improve the quality of life of people with physical limitations.
Playsketch (http://playsketch.net) - incubated at IPN, the Playsktech works in the area of games and is developing a solution that allows you to create a game through a drawing on paper.
Sceelix (www.sceelix.com) - a project that has a solution designed to improve the development of 3D environments in games, by creating scenarios and digital 3D elements in a simplified manner.
Scraim (www.scraim.com) - a Strongstep project, incubated in UPTEC with an online project management tool, which acts as a complete and easy to use SaaS multiplatform. "

Scraim is the profile of the week on Buzzmedia.pt!

"We live in a world where the management of projects and people is a
constant challenge for the organizations. The multiplicity of tasks
involved in the development of a project and the geographical distance
of the people who comprise it creates problems in the organizations,
that leads to the search for solutions that often reinvent the wheel.
After
many years helping organizations to solve these problems that occur
over and over again, from startups and PMEs to recognized
multinationals,, we realized how important it would be to create a
solution that would allow greater flexibility and reliability in meeting
the goals of a project, following international best practices. And so
Scraim was born.
Combining the best of project management with
process management, Scraim allows you to centralize all the information
of the projects and processes of an organization in an online service
accessible anytime, anywhere via the web or mobile app. It’s flexible
and adapts to the specific needs of organizations, both in terms of size
and business area.
Scraim was developed based on international
best development practices for engineering and software quality, in
order to enable managers of telecommunications, banking, health and
information and communication sectors to improve their ability to comply
with deadlines, budget and the quality of their projects.
We
brought the best international engineering and management practices from
many methodologies into the tool (Scrum, CMMI, ITMark, TSP / PSP, Six
Sigma)., but the greatest added value involves the provision of turnkey
development processes that allow users to start getting added value from
the first minute they start using the tool.
When creating a new
project, users can choose a development process that is ideal for that
project. Scraim can adapt to the chosen process, phases and tasks that
normally are present in this type of projects.
We recognize that
there are already tools that do well some of the previous functions,
however there are few that combine the best practices of both areas
(project management and process management) in favor of software
engineering. It is in this niche that we insert ourselves and where we
want to highlight.
Thinking about internationalization, we
submitted an application and were selected for the 2015 edition of the
inRES, an initiative of the CMU Portugal Program. This allow us to
participate in workshops led by international experts with an in-depth
knowledge of global best practices in the areas of management,
innovation and entrepreneurship.
In September, we're going to
Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), in the United States,
where we have a training program and the participation in events and
multiple meetings that will allow us to know better the American reality
and improve Scraim. This opportunity came at the right time, because
we're making a big commitment on our internationalization. The United
States is our main target market due to its size and the large number of
companies that are certified or wish to be certified. We will be
exposed to an environment that will make us stronger and more focused on
the evolution of Scraim with the great goal of becoming a global
service.
Developed in Portugal by a 100% portuguese team, Scraim
is a spin-off of Strongstep company. It is the result of an I&D
project in partnership with Faculty of Engineering of the University of
Porto (FEUP), Multicert and Strongstep, under the slogan: Design by
gurus, implemented by specialists and validated by the industry.
Strongstep brought knowledge about the processes, good software
development practices, and leadership of the consortium in the amount of
half a million euros. FEUP was responsible for the design and
implementation of part of the solution prototype bringing their
technical and scientific knowledge. Multicert brought their security
expertise to the project and represented the industry where the project
pilots were conducted to validate the solution."

Workspace Launch!
Published on 2015-09-08
Scraim is once again making it easier for you!
With the Workspace, our latest feature, you can easily have an excellent
overview of your team’s current work with this amazing visualization
tool and know right away what to do next.
SHARING A COMMON WORKSPACE
Nowadays is
very common to find multi-cultured and dispersed teams working together.
In this kind of scenario its very easy for something to go wrong.
Trying to keep the project activities synchronized in this chaotic
environment is one of the main reasons why many projects fail.
Sharing a common workspace not only
provides teams with the data and tools they need to achieve success, but
also demonstrates their dedication and commitment to achieve their
goals.
ALIGNED TEAMS
The Workspace
unifies the data from all projects in one location and serves as a
reliable single source of information which ensures that decisions are
based on the most current and complete updates.
This platform promotes greater visibility
and transparency by allowing team members to track the progress of other
team members so that activities that are behind schedule are quickly
identified, always on real time, and allowed to be prioritized.
Communication and collaboration are an important key to any project
