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 shells. Shells are created under the Owner Company.
Note: 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 shells.
- Member Company: When a Partner Company participates in a project or shell, the Partner Company becomes a Member Company, and the Partner Company users that are added to the project or shell become the Member Company users. Additionally, if a Partner Company user is added to a project or shell, the system verifies that the user's company is a Member Company; if not, the system adds the Partner Company.
Notes:
- Project and shell access is limited to the users (including Sponsor Company users or Member Company users) who are chosen for the project or shell and permissions are configurable for each company.
- When a Member (also known as Partner) Company is removed from a project or 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.
