I may be wrong, but i think the question seems to require us to justify why off the shelf > bespoke? Or could it be the other way too?

You are right. COTS is always better than bespoke in terms of cost, quick implementation,less errors. Examiner always prefers COTS or COTS with some part of customized.

It was ok to me, as it is not difficult this time, compared to previous past papers.
Guess most of us would choose to answer Q1,Q2 &Q4.

Q1 is quite straight forward, SWOT & TOWS matrix, I thought it could be PESTEL and 5 Forces questions will come out in Q1.
SAF is also not that difficult. Only need to write more on Suitability.

Q2 came out before for Software Package evaluation, selection & implement. – Usually I will answer through Harmon Process Matrix, Business Case, Define Requirement, Proper Tendering, Evaluate of Suppliers, Implementation Issue.
Advantage of COTS – Cheaper, Quick, Reliability, Less errors, Be able to gain competitive advantage of Industry Practice.

Q4. 5 forces come out in this question, just wrote as more as I can, disadvantage & advantage for acquisition, just roughly described – quick to enter into market, expensive, culture disruption.

Only able to manage to answer for 75%. Don’t know what will happen?

If you are sure 70% of correctness of 75%, then confirm you will pass.
