In 1998 and the beginning of 1999, ISPL, the Information Services Procurement Library was developed by a consortium of 5 companies: EXIN - Utrecht - The Netherlands, FAST - München - Germany, ID Research - Gouda - The Netherlands, SEMA - Paris - France, TIEKE - Helsinki - Finland. The ISPL-project was part of the SPRITE S2 project of the European Commission and was 50 % funded by the Commission. The last years it has become common business practice to procure IT systems and services for a number of reasons, such as: the need to focus on core business, the difficulty to master the growing complexity of systems and services, the need to operate more cost-efficient, the difficulty to follow the evolution of technology, the lack of control over the IS department. At the same time the need for systematic procedures for the management of procurement processes has been growing. The Information Services Procurement Library is based on best practices in procurement management. Using ISPL provides beriefits for both customers and stippliers. ISPL stresses the customer-supplier relationships, and ir provides a better understanding of requirements and the managing of ambitions, expectations and risks through detailed guidance on the acquisition process. The products of the ISPL-project, the Information Services Procurement Library will support procurement managers in their work. Besides books a number of other products are available for all staff interested in, or working as a professional in the field of procurement management. These products are: training, qualification schemes and examinations on two levels, a best practise database, a tool supporting the procurement process, an ISPL Web-server and a user group (a sopecial interst group of ITSMF-International).
