Consulting jargon for an
employee from the
client who works alongside the
consultants. The
client empoweree learns the new
tool /
application /
package so that when the project is done, they can take responsibility for it.
The client empoweree, ideally, has an active role in the development process. One reasonably large consulting firm makes it a practice to count client empowerees as one half of a developer when estimating the manpower on a project.
Of course, some client empowerees contribute as much as a crash test dummy, but even at that, they can be useful...
