Information on Customer

The customer organisation is the organisation that contains at the very least the end users, operators, trainers, supporters and maintainers of the system under development. The customer organisation will also invariably have an acquisition component which will be responsible for the project management and systems engineering activities associated with the acquisition of the system in accordance with the user requirements. The customer organisation could also contain the developers, although it is common these days to outsource the development activity to a contractor. The customer organisation manages the contract with the contractor.
