Transferring FAME, a Methodology for Assessing Open Source Solutions, from University to SMEs
Filippo Eros Pani, Daniele Sanna, Michele Marchesi, Giulio Concas · 2010
We present FAME (Filter, Analyze, Measure and Evaluate), a simplified approach for Open Source software assessment. This approach has been derived by more heavyweight, proven approaches developed in a University research environment, to match the needs of small organizations. The proposed approach has been developed by CC-ICT-SUD, a consortium for the delivery of technology transfer services, and for transferring advanced methodologies for software evaluation and assessment from academic to industrial contexts, in particular for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). The FAME methodology is briefly described, and a case study involving the choice of a document management system for a SME is presented, showing how the approach can be used. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
