Abstract

When choosing software outsourcing suppliers, the enterprises need to comprehensively consider the price attributes, business attributes, technical attributes and other factors, so as to form a winner determination problem. This paper proposes to design a online reverse auction model of two phase, and use the comprehensive scoring method to determine the winning bidder. For the indicators that are difficult to quantify the business attributes and technical attributes, the expert scoring method is adopted to quantify them numerically, and the linear additive score function is used to determine the highest score as the software outsourcing supplier, thus solving the problem of winner determination in the application of the online reverse auction theory.
