19. "A successful project must have been able to assess,
seize, and whenever possible, anticipate
technological innovation and its proper use, to build
solutions that can give valuable results, but also
maintain their 'promise' of competitiveness over
time".
"The second just as important element that creates
value for customers, is sharing the knowledge about
the technologies that have been adopted, to allow a
complete autonomous control in evolving
applications, ensuring the continuous alignment
with the evolution of the business."
