PACKAGED SOFTWARE SELECTION

A new competitor – a cost containment strategy – a unique customer service opportunity – any of these challenges may point to the need for a software solution. Packaged software is often the right first alternative to consider versus recreating the wheel by building your own solution. If a reputable packaged software solution already exists that provides the majority of functionality without significant customization, packaged software may facilitate a quicker deployment of a new application, perhaps at a lower cost. However, rushing into a software purchase can be very painful and costly. Taking the proper steps to insure that the software and the provider are right for your need can greatly improve your chances of accomplishing your objectives.
