informed, thorough and fair decision-making when evaluating software purchases on the
basis of their potential operational benefits and total cost of ownership.

to commercial software alternatives as part of a rigorous evaluation process that will
help meet operational requirements, reduce costs and reduce the amount of time needed
to bring applications into production.
