Summary/Abstract: From the point of view of the purchasers of software packages such as ERP systems, analysis and implementation phases involve most resources through the process of acquiring such software. The complexity of these phases is particularly notable in the case of corporate implementations in organizations with a distributed structure. Therefore, understanding the objectives of these phases and the activities involved in them is a key factor for the success of software package implementation projects. The authors created a two-segmental model aimed at the better representation of the life cycle of information systems. The classical waterfall model was used as a basis and reference point for the new model. The article demonstrates that the actual course of the two phases is better represented in the proposed two-segmental model.
