Software engineering is a relative young profession. It is both an art and a science. To further complicate the procurement management process there are few standardized tools and practices and those few standards are followed or implemented by minority of practitioners, both at the individual and company levels. These reality present very difficult challenges to the procurement of software services, in particular customized software development, and also commercial of-the-shelf (COTS) software products. As a professional software engineer I can help you to become an intelligent software product and services buyer. The goal is to allow you to extract the higher possible value from your investments and expenditures.
