Abstract

The execution of software projects sometimes is only viable if some activities are outsourced. Thus, the definition and execution of software acquisition process are important to enhance project’s control and quality. This paper presents the Acquisition process implementation at Synapsis Brasil in accordance to MR-MPS and CMMI. We also discuss the integration between the acquisition process and the software development process. Finally, the main benefits, difficulties, success factors and lessons learned are discussed.
