Abstract

Currently organizations have increased their interest in the acquisition activities of software products. As a result, this process should be well defned and specifc in order to allow to these organizations appropriate of them seeking satisfy their needs and expectations related to the acquisition. In this sense, this article exposes a method for software products acquisition adjusted to the specifc characteristics of small organizations, which is based on common practices presented by international referents related to the acquisition process. Furthermore, the fow of activities, tasks, roles and work products that must be followed to acquire a product that satisfes the needs and expectations of the organization is presented in detail. From the initial application of the proposed method in a small organization linked to the cooperative sector has been observed that this is useful and practical to conduct the activity of software acquisition.
