CSIRO's i-MATE process is an established approach to help IT organizations in the acquisition of large-scale COTS middleware components. It aims to minimize technical risk by matching detailed application and infrastructure requirements to the capabilities of COTS middleware products. This paper describes a case study on the use of i-MATE in a project that required the selection of appropriate components in a compressed timeline and from a broad range of candidate COTS technologies. The steps and tools in i-MATE are briefly explained, along with the characteristics of COTS middleware components that make them a unique challenge in terms of acquisition and adoption. The case study project is then outlined, and the key business and technical issues explained. Finally, we describe and evaluate the enhancements made to the i-MATE approach to successfully respond to the challenges encountered.
