Executive Summary

For large IT projects, firms usually hire IT services partners to assist with the design, implementation, support, and management of the solution.

IT projects are, in essence, people projects. Therefore, people management skills within your company are necessary for the successful design and implementation of the solution. Taking the time to set up processes to better manage the screening and selection of the project team within the IT partner and its introduction into your company is vital to help ensure a successful project outcome.
