Finding the right software system

摘要

A systematic approach to software selection is recommended. The outlined procedure is intended to prevent important items from being overlooked. Specifically, labour costs associated with training and lack of productivity are frequently underestimated. Companies should select software based on how long training will take and how much man-time will be required for a trained user to complete a typical project. This in turn depends on user-friendliness, software userrncommunity networks, vendor support, etc. For key software, strategic considerations are important to ensure long-term support by vendors.
