The document discusses the steps taken in the software selection process at Timberjack, comparing it to a traditional Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Key steps included: identifying a need for new software; outlining requirements with consultants; issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) with over 1,000 requirements; receiving bids from 13 vendors and narrowing to 6; and ultimately selecting two vendors. The process was more iterative than a traditional SDLC model.
