Abstract

Modern companies face quickly changing demands of customers, selling conditions, and a high fluctuation of employees because of global competition. Frequently, firms recruit subcontractors and freelancers to handle short-term bottlenecks and to acquire know-how. Because of various interfaces and internal structures and a complex mesh of responsibilities between all participating teams, the exchange of information and data is highly sophisticated. This paper describes the current situation of most small and medium enterprises that co-operate with subcontractors and, hence, face empirical problems. Key features and demands for a possible approach are shown to solve these issues with a minimum effort on existing systems and processes.
