Large corporations primarily involved in the software industry need IT software project history data that is reliable, verifiable, standardised and representative of current technologies. The ISBSG has the largest open repository of software project history in the world.

This annual corporate subscription allows organisations to use the ISBSG data for their estimating, quoting, benchmarking, outsource contracts, research and planning. It can be particularly helpful for software suppliers and customers alike in highlighting unrealistic quotes and providing a benchmark on which to base realistic outsourcing contract targets.

Subscriber benefits include:

  • Access to the most recent and complete ISBSG data (>4,000 projects) from both the Development & Enhancement and Maintenance/Support repositories which is far more extensive than that offered on the ISBSG Estimating, Benchmarking and Research CD (ie 203 fields compared to the CD's 106). Data can be tailored to suit the corporation's requirements.
  • Individual web subscriptions for the stated number of users - allowing access to special reports and tools on the Subscribers area of the website.
  • Email support/clarification
