The fact that the process of software selection for planning is so complex cannot be underestimated. That is why we need to apply a systematic method that includes company specific factors. We analyze the factors involved which will help us to focus on the requirements important for individual companies.

- Clear relationships between an environmen-tal factor and appropriate software are noticeable. The environmental dynamics influences the necessary flexibility of a solution: if nothing has changed the planning solution has to be also only very seldom adjusted. In such a case the otherwise important factor of adaptation flexibility can be neglected.

With a purely central controlling the tools for process supporting can possibly become useless.
