Abstract

This paper presents a skills management system in a medium-sized software consulting company, and how it is used. We found four different types of usage: Searching for competence to solve problems, allocating resources, finding areas for new projects, and to develop competence. Most people in the company seem to regard this tool as useful, both for themselves, and for the company as a whole.
