The Profiles of Projects Supplied by a Full-Scale ICT-Services Provider

چکیده
The role of modern ICT-services providers has changed from easily defined system engineers to full-scale providers. The types, or profiles, of projects supplied by such providers are not very well understood. In this article a company specific analysis of a set of projects is presented. The analysis clarifies the types of projects and discusses the features of those types. Five distinctive profiles of projects were found excluding the maintenance. Some of the profiles were unexpected and seem to reflect the changing nature of the system engineering market. This change shows that changes to existing methodologies and new methodologies are required in order to offer proper methodological support for modern full-scale ICT-services providers.
