Today's marketplace has a vast array of continually emerging products and technologies, and each vendor works to differentiate its products from those of competitors. This means that there is wide variety in products, but also wide variation in quality, capability, and compatibility--even when products claim to adhere to the same standards.

How can companies...

• Evaluate technologies and products?
• Integrate custom code and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products with differing standards, attributes, and levels of compatibility?/ul>
• Choose technologies and products that will be relevant over the life of a system?

Merging the Methods of Nine Separate Business Units Yields Continuing Company-Wide Return on Investment
Nine business units of a commercial bank were using nine different systems acquisition approaches. Each approach had good features, but none could provide a complete solution or consistent results.

The bank worked with SEI experts in software process and commercial software integration to combine the best features into a single systems acquisition approach for use across all business units.

The bank built on this project to institute bank-wide process improvement that continues to lower costs and improve the return on investment of new systems.
