Evaluation of information systems procurement: goaland task-driven approaches

Abstract

The paper analyses problems of information systems procurement evaluation. Various evaluation systems and strategies used today are discussed. Goal-driven and task-driven evaluation approaches are recognised as the most universal, they enable to set evaluation criteria logically and to receive well-founded results. Details of implementation of proposed evaluation methodology are presented. Quality management problems related with procurement, influence of various constraints, feedback in the acquisition process and other ways to procure the best possible system are described.
