This practice helps teams to build complex software systems based on pre-existing Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS)
packages.
In this practice, we will find a list of key drivers that will have impact on COTS package delivery. These key drivers
include the Four Spheres of Influences, commercial market-imposed constraints, and derived process requirements.
Based on these process drivers, this practice discusses a process framework derived from the RUP
process to aim at evaluating, recommending, acquiring, installing, configuring, fielding and evolving
Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) package solutions.
