Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this study was to investigate working on a project with a new technology supplier in a regulated environment. The aim was to identify the effects related to a triangular relationship, success criteria and success factors. The improvement needs identified during the study were converted into suggestions for improvements.
The study was qualitative by nature and used observation, case study and interviews/questionnaires as research methods. The literature review and observation part was carried out from 2013 until 2015. The case study, interviews and questionnaires and data analysis were made in 2016. The personnel to be interviewed and cases to be studied were taken as discretionary samples.
These results suggest that the new technology supplier projects are following the same principles as other projects. The main finding during the study was that the new supplier relationship will need more time and focus to be able to succeed and this should be taken into account in the schedule and resourcing. There is also a need for improving internal project processes around the technology projects to be more efficient especially when working with a new team.
