“…Extensive systems with more users are always exposed to human errors; therefore, more time should be spent on all types of tests during the production. As a result, production costs and the need for insurance coverage will increase. Duration of the contract (Alami, ; Cebeci, ; Lopez & Salmeron, ): Long‐term contracts are usually concluded for larger systems, with more details and more complicated production process. Duration of the contract increases the uncertainty.…”

“…Duration of the contract increases the uncertainty. Insurance coverage can compensate this uncertainty to some extent. Work quality/rank of the consultant and supervisor of the contract (Alami, ; Lopez & Salmeron, ; TechInsurance, ): Any professional contract needs a consultant or primary designer and the project needs at least one supervisor. The consultant of technical contracts supervises the execution of that contract.…”

“…More experienced contractors have higher chance to gain better positions in the market. Like rank of the consultant/supervisor of the contract, high rank of contactor (in lower number ranking system) causes more assurance about correct and timely performance of the system, which lowers the need for contract insurance coverage. The number of similar products sold by the contractor within the past 3 years (Alami, ; Montequin et al, ; Ngai & Wat, ): A greater number of sold products signals less risk. Therefore, it is evident that there is less need for insurance coverage of the contract. Positive commercial records of the contractor (by giving good performance certificate; Lipińska et al, ; Montequin et al, ): Historical records and variety of the contractor's contracts do not necessarily indicate high quality of his performance.…”

In the business environment, information technology (IT) plays an important role for firms' performance. It provides information flow that makes the supply chain more robust and resilient without undermining its efficiency. Smart systems use artificial intelligence methods for solving problems and facilitating decision‐making through rule‐based deduction. Accordingly, these systems can present specialists' skills and simulate their thinking process. The primary goal of expert systems is to implement knowledge acquisition process by converting knowledge to wisdom. This process is vital for critical decision‐making regarding important issues such as determining necessities of a particular contract. Companies use professional liability insurance of the products and services to ensure the purchasers and prevent potential losses. Although this practice is highly prevalent, there is not any particular procedure for measuring necessities of contracts. The main purpose of this paper is to design a fuzzy expert system for measuring the necessities of professional contracts regarding insurance coverage and improve the supply chain management using IT. This system can measure and report these obligations, considering specifications of each project. Taking into perspective variety of professional services/products, we consider software as a type of professional contracts, extract its important indices and give it to the system as the input. After the necessary stages, the system produces a proper response and presents the generated response to the user. The software of this expert system is web based, and there are four operating layers in its architecture. We implemented this program in MS Visual Studio Framework with C#.NET programming language. Moreover, we implemented MS SQL‐Server Database Management.

“…Such causes can be linked to the environment in which the project develops, to the "Projects' ecosystems" (Alami, 2016), "Organization structure, Project managers' skills, Communication, Requirement specification, Cultural awareness" )-, the level of the project strategic planning (PapkeShields E. Karen, 2016) the adjustment to the cultural environment in which the project is to be implemented. .…”

. Comparing data from all these sources leads to the conclusion that the information is coherent and represents a credible basis for our analysis. We found that 48% of all investment projects implemented in Romania in 2007 -2016 and co-funded under European funds (in terms of the share of eligible expenses) requested outsourcing services for the preparation of the project documentation needed to apply for funds; such expenses represent almost 3 % of the total eligible project expenses approved. Almost 36% (in terms of the share of eligible expenses) of all investment projects implemented in Romania in 2007 -2016 and co-funded under

“…It revealed that the more time spent on using the said Project Management Information System, the better the Cost Performing Index (CPI) of the project [4]. Additionally, Alami's study revealed that small-scaled IT projects are less prone to project failure than larger-scaled IT projects -a possible basis for scaling is the project budget, If the project budget is larger than $350,000 it is considered large-scale project; otherwise a project with a budget of less than $350,000 is considered small-scale project [5].…”

This study explored the development and the implementation of a web-based, mobile-responsive project management tool using Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud technology. The said software can be used to monitor the progress of a project, its project timeline, deliverables and the assigned project team members, and other pertinent project information.The said software was evaluated by the IT project managers, developers and senior managers of a local bank in the Philippines in terms of functionality, usability and interactivity. Based on the results, they were satisfied with the software, receiving a mean of 3.0, 3.58 and 3.44, respectively. . Thus, the authors concluded that the developed system can be used by the project managers and stakeholders with no cost involved.
