Abstract

An enterprise may benefit from software business outsourcing depending on the suitability of the outsourcing service provider. This research addresses the assessment of the contracting capability of software outsourcing vendors and proposes a decision-making model based on Interval Evidential Reasoning (IER). Firstly, a capability assessment index system for software outsourcing vendors is developed. The idea of transforming different types of assessment information into evidence probability is presented and an assessment model based on IER is established. Finally, the feasibility and validity of this approach is demonstrated by an example calculation.
