Journal of Data Processing Moutasm Tamimi, Issam Jebreen 8 3 2018 https://doi.org/10.6025/jdp/2018/8/3/106-123 http://www.dline.info/jdp/fulltext/v8n3/jdpv8n3_4.pdf To Small Packaged Software Vendors’ Enterprises (SPSVE) have played a massive role in a software environment and contributed dramatically to economies. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and categorize the most recent of literature addressing The Small Packaged Software Vendors’ Enterprises through Systematic Snapshot Research in order to identify current research topics and highlight some areas needing more consideration. The pattern of our systematic approach is based on developing a classification scheme which targets a collection of papers published within the period of 2007- 2017. We analysed one hundred and one papers in peer-reviewed conferences, journals, and workshops to examine the current state of SPSVE’s research in order to provide Systematic Snapshot Mapping (SSM) that includes the small packaged software life cycle, research methods used, and country of study. The Systematic Snapshot of 101 papers reveals that the majority of the literature has focused on the planning and implementation phases of (SPSVEs). Figuring a new model of packaged software life-cycle in SMEs will occur by applying the model of our categorizations with regard to the life cycle with its factors and sub factors. Moreover, it will contribute to finding research methods, regions, top ten citation, articles type classifications, and other kinds of classifications. This research is targeted to Small Packaged Software Vendors’ Enterprises (SPSVEs). Our finding is intended for software research areas more than economic research areas. This paper has presented a high degree of benefits in order to assist researchers in evidence-based decision making in terms of investigating hot research areas in line with the Small Packaged Software Vendors’ Enterprises (SPSVEs).
