Abstract
More and more companies are realising that business is best carried out in project-based virtual alliances and are intensively networking and collaborating with partner companies. This requires convergent, adaptive, and interoperable IT environments ready to support flexible, loosely coupled networked enterprises, anywhere, anytime - regardless of heterogeneous systems and applications in use. In this paper, a methodology for gathering and analysing user requirements is applied which is specifically tailored for incorporating multi-party views such as necessary for the development of collaboration platforms to support virtual alliances and to prove its significance in a real-world case study. The work presented is performed within the SPIKE project, focusing on the technical, methodological and organisational support of short-term and project-based business alliances between organisations of all types and sizes.
