Companies
The following describes the company types used within the system:
- Owner Company (also referred to as the Sponsor Company): The entity that engages in business and has complete control (or ownership) of the application. An Owner Company (Sponsor Company), commissions projects/shells. Projects/shells are created under the Owner Company.
Note: Projects/shells are a collaboration space allowing users to coordinate efforts during the execution of a project.
A Sponsor Company may have one, many, or no partners.
- Partner Company: A Partner Company is a consultant, a contractor, or a vendor company that is associated with a Sponsor Company. A Partner Company may work with the Sponsor Company on all, or only some, of the Sponsor Company projects/shells.
- Member Company: When a Partner Company participates in a project/shell, the Partner Company becomes a Member Company, and the Partner Company users that are added to the project/shell become the Member Company users. Additionally, if a Partner Company user is added to a project/shell, the system verifies that the user's company is a Member Company; if not, the system adds the Partner Company.
Notes:
- Project/shell access is limited to the users (including Sponsor Company users or Member Company users) who are chosen for the project/shell and permissions are configurable for each company.
- When a Member (also known as Partner) Company is removed from a project/shell, the Member Company users are automatically set to Inactive.
The application lets you add a Partner Company or Member Company to enable project users to collaborate on (and coordinate) the execution of a project.
