Quality Management Software Evaluation Prior to Purchase

摘要

CEBOS Ltd. has introduced an advance intelligence program the CIA Plan f or executives who manage their companies quality assurance activities. The CIA (Comprehensive Implementation Analysis) Plan evaluates any vendor s quality management software system prior to a purchase commitment. It analyzes how new software will affect company operations and provides a road map for integrating resources including legacy software. The resulting CIA Plan report includes a system cost justification plus a realistic, three-year return-on-investment forecast.The CIA Plan addresses potential miscalculations that can prove expensive to a company s bottom line and to its reputation with customers, says CEBOS President Tim Burke. Lacking prior analysis and planning, Burke says, what you can expect is a minimal ROI resulting from false starts, fuzzy expectations, system gaps and overlaps that show up after the fact. Without advance intelligence, you re flying blind without radar to guide you. It s a formula for the day when you have to confess your shortcomings to the Board of Directors. Disaster avoidance is the reason for the CIA Plan.
