Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce the results of a survey which focuses on the state of company process support by software systems in small software companies in the Czech Republic. The survey includes various processes from software development to other areas of company activities, e.g. human resources, finance, quality management, or utilities. The survey results show that two thirds of respondents are not satisfied with the current state of company process support.
