ABSTRACT

Matdejen Industries (a leading manufacturer of industrial-strength widgets) needs to develop a new

system for unifying its sales, marketing, and product development teams and give them greater visibility

into the full life cycle of its products. Everyone at Matdejen agrees that this system will help propel it into

the market leadership position they all feel they deserve. Unfortunately, there are no software

development people at Matdejen who would be able to build such a system in the short time frame

that is required. The leadership at Matdejen understands that they must look outside the company for

their system.
