BUS 388 - Software Acquisitions


Class Hour(s) 3
Laboratory Hour(s) 0
3 Semester Credit Hour(s)

This course covers the acquisition of open systems and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, an increasingly vital element of corporate and government software development. Properly managed software acquisition offers potential for significant time and cost savings over a system’s lifetime. The transition from proprietary, custom-built systems to systems based on standards and commercial products is not easy, however. Managers and their staff must understand the risks and opportunities associated with this acquisition approach.

Prerequisite(s): BUS 301 and BUS 384 or equivalent.
