A successful technological transfer requires a proven manpower and information input of the resources and needs of the recipient organization. Applying the above framework to the logistics area of the petroleum industry, the use of discreteevent simulation software is required to properly simulate these systems. This kind of software has a wide market demand, which means that a selection process is necessary. This research proposes an evaluation and selection process of the IT from a technological viewpoint, specifically concentrating on the discrete-event simulation software that is going to be acquired by the Venezuelan oil industry. The applicability of the Systemic Quality Model-SQMO+ was successfully run in the evaluation of the discrete-event simulation software, this evaluation showed that three commercial software complied with the minimum technical requirements established in this research. This process enabled the choice of the best software from a technological standpoint.
