About This Item
IEEE P1062/D29, Sep 2015 is a draft recommended practice for software acquisition in computing and processing environments. It is intended to guide organizations through the selection, evaluation, and procurement of software by setting a practical framework for requirements, review, and acceptance. For teams that need a more disciplined approach to buying software, IEEE P1062/D29, Sep 2015 helps support clearer decisions and more consistent acquisition outcomes.
IEEE P1062/D29, Sep 2015 overview
This draft document focuses on recommended practice for software acquisition, making it relevant to planning, specification, and review activities in computing and processing work. IEEE P1062/D29, Sep 2015 is likely used to help define what should be considered before software is purchased or adopted, including functional fit, technical compatibility, and verification expectations. As a draft standard, it is useful for organizations that want a structured basis for acquisition control and documentation.
Typical use cases
IEEE P1062/D29, Sep 2015 may be used when an organization is preparing software requirements for an internal project, assessing a commercial application, or comparing candidate tools for a computing system. It is also relevant for procurement teams, technical reviewers, and project engineers involved in software selection for business systems, engineering platforms, or operational workflows. In practice, it can support acquisition decisions where traceability, acceptance criteria, and technical suitability need to be documented.
Why this standard matters
This standard matters because software acquisition can affect long-term cost, integration effort, and operational risk.
