Would you like help in avoiding a six figure mistake?
Too many organizations select computer systems only to want to throw them out the window. What went wrong? They did not have a well structured plan to: make sure the selection fit their needs; was acceptable to the majority of workers; and managed the expectations of the staff so they were part of the solution, not the problem.
Over the last 25 years, we have built, revised and improved the process used by our consultants across North America. The results of this experience are now available to any organization seeking to perform their own software analysis and evaluation. The new Software Selection Handbook will help you to manage the selection process successfully … the first time.
The step-by-step Handbook is designed to make it easy for an organization to follow a quality process The Handbook has been used to:
- Compare a current system against solutions on the market today.
- Validate processes already begun or recently completed.
- Allow management to insure that a proven process is being followed.
- Document the evaluation process.
- Analyze the vendor responses in a consistent, accurate and objective manner.
- Provide the project team an "action plan" to move through the process.
