Abstract
The current market situation demands from companies to use complex software systems as a business foundation and connection with customers and partners. Such systems must use complex technologies and efficiently support actual business processes. Traditional development and implementation practices are no longer feasible since customer expectations can no longer be fulfilled without their participation. Development projects must continuously learn and improve their competences towards achieving a common goal: software implementation according to the actual customer expectations. This paper explores new economy software development practices and proposes methods to involve actual customers in software development to enable efficient software implementation, which will provide new business opportunities for the company. The proposed methods are applied on the actual development project to evaluate all benefits of the proposed approach.
