An accelerated IT application procurement process is a streamlined and expedited process for acquiring software applications that meet an organisation's needs. It involves minimizing the time and effort required to evaluate, select, and implement software solutions while ensuring that they meet the organisation's functional and technical requirements.

The goal of an accelerated IT application procurement process is to accelerate the time-to-value of the new software solution while minimizing the risks and costs associated with the traditional procurement process. It is particularly useful for organisations that need to respond quickly to changing business needs or market conditions and cannot afford long procurement cycles.

A typical accelerated IT application procurement process may involve several steps, such as:

1. Defining requirements: Identifying the organisation's needs, priorities, and constraints in terms of software functionality, technical compatibility, security, scalability, and other factors. (We already have most of these documented)

2. Research: Conducting market research to identify potential software solutions that meet the organisation's requirements and conducting initial assessments of their suitability. (We already know the products)

3. Shortlisting: Narrowing down the list of potential software solutions to a manageable number based on factors such as price, functionality, and vendor reputation.

4. Evaluation: Conducting a thorough evaluation of the shortlisted software solutions through demos, testing, and other methods to determine their suitability and value.

5. Selection: Selecting the most suitable software solution based on the evaluation results and negotiating the best terms and pricing with the vendor.

6. Implementation: Implementing the selected software solution in the organization's IT environment, training users, and ensuring that the solution meets the organization's expectations and requirements.

An accelerated IT application procurement process can help organisations to quickly acquire and implement software solutions that meet their needs, reduce procurement costs and risks, and accelerate the realisation of business benefits
