For the sector "IT Procurement for Products and Services", SYNSPACE investigated by means of internet recherches the present state of practice in different countries, and has collected and evaluated key documentation regarding this topic.
The study was initiated by the occasion that the Swiss Federal Administration is presently restructuring the entirety of their IT related activities under the name of NOVE-IT with regards to process orientation. The process quality shall be measurable with respect to objective criteria and shall enable a comparison with domestic and foreign public administrations. The precondition is that processes will be orientated with respect to international standards and Best Practices.
For Procurement manager, business process architects and all other interested people, SYNSPACE provides the result of these enquiries on CD-ROM, where you can find the report in form of a document containing links to the over 20 documentations and the respective web sources.
You can download the report about the referenced documents directly, and you have the opportunity to order the complete report on CD-ROM for free.
