One of the basic actions of maritime companies intended for outsourcing is the creation of management information material using the appropriate software. It is not disputed that almost all the shipowning companies have at least one IT manager, whose training is diverse. However, it is not a given that an IT manager is aware of difficulties that may arise in IT projects.
