The proven standard work in its 6th edition – updated and expanded.

Selection decisions for the procurement of IT resources and services have never been easy and will continue to pose a significant challenge in a market characterized by innovations, intense competition, and complexity. On one hand, it is essential to adhere to the requirements of procurement law, and on the other hand, to transform the diverse and interesting opportunities and potentials of complex information and communication technology into cost savings, efficiency gains, and qualitative and strategic advantages for the respective company or administration.

The two authors provide a comprehensive framework and assistance for the procurement process and decision-making, taking into account the legal foundations. The procedures and methods presented are tried and tested in practice and have been optimized for this 6th, updated, and expanded edition. They are intended for practical application and are seen as important components within a structured project management approach aimed at implementing the "best" solution (a synthesis of utility, costs, and risks).

This established standard work is aimed at both the user side (management, specialist departments) of IT resources and IT and organizational professionals as well as purchasing departments. Additionally, it can be used as a teaching tool.
