由于CASE（计算机辅助软件工程）采用是更广泛的技术过渡问题的主题，ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007解决了适用于各种计算组织的采用实践。ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007既不规定也不提倡特定的开发标准、软件过程、设计方法、方法论、技术、编程语言或生命周期范例。 ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007将: 确定关键成功因素（CSF）； 提出一套采用流程； 考虑组织和文化环境，指导成功采用。 以下群体作为潜在受众: 案例用户； 信息系统经理； 首席信息官（CIO）； 案例供应商； 软件工程顾问；那些参与获取案例工具和技术的人。 因此，ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007涉及案例工具采用的各个方面。它最好与ISO/IEC 14102结合使用，用于CASE工具评估和选择。它是对相关ISO/IEC文件的补充，这些文件涉及这些主题的一般方面。 ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007的目的是为案例采用提供推荐实践。它为建立成功采用CASE技术所应用的流程和活动提供了指导。使用ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007将有助于最大化回报并最小化投资案例技术的风险。然而，ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007没有建立符合性标准。

Since CASE (computer aided software engineering) adoption is a subject of the broader technology transition problem, ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 addresses the adoption practices appropriate for a wide range of computing organizations. ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 neither dictates nor advocates particular development standards, software processes, design methods, methodologies, techniques, programming languages, or life-cycle paradigms. ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 will:

• identify critical success factors (CSF);
• propose a set of adoption processes;
• guide successful adoption in consideration of organizational and cultural environment.

The following groups are targeted as potential audiences:

• CASE users;
• information systems managers;
• chief information officers (CIO);
• CASE suppliers;
• software engineering consultants;
• those involved in the acquisition of CASE tools and technology.

Therefore ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 addresses aspects of CASE tools adoption. It is best used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 14102 for CASE tool evaluation and selection. It is complementary to related ISO/IEC documents which deal with the general aspects of these topics. The purpose of ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 is to provide a recommended practice for CASE adoption. It provides guidance in establishing processes and activities that are to be applied for the successful adoption of CASE technology. The use of ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 will help to maximize the return and minimize the risk of investing in CASE technology. However, ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 does not establish compliance criteria.
