Recent years have shown a strong trend toward electronic information management in many fields. The use of office applications generated vast amounts of digital information and global multi-site organizations are increasingly faced with the need for advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities for information management and distributed working. We address these requirements and problems in the MObile Teamwork Infrastructure for Organizations Networking (MOTION) 1 project and aim at creating a highly flexible, open and scalable ICT architecture for mobile teamwork support. In this paper, we discuss key concepts, design goals and requirements we have identified to build a component-based mobile teamwork ICT architecture for complex, multi-site, multi-process organizations. We give a brief overview of the MOTION architecture and technologies and introduce the evaluation criteria for the MOTION platform.
