• Project implementation.
• Software outsourcing.
• Software maintenance.
• Support issues and contract negotiation.

At some point in a company’s lifetime the issue of software development will arise. For a specific automation need, should the company:
• Buy software off-the-shelf.
• Outsource the development.
• Develop in-house.

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this question. All options have their advantages and disadvantages. It is only through careful consideration of the needs and the examination of the various options that we can reach the best solution under the circumstances.

Assuming that you do need to buy software (in some cases you do not) the software selection process will roughly follow the following steps:
• Functional specification creation.
• Technical specification creation.
• Implementation.

The most important stage of the software selection process is the creation of the functional specification, the descripton in plain English of the need. Unless the company has identified the automation need in a clear and correct manner in writing, then the chances of addressing the need are diminished.
