<p><FONT FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" SIZE="2">Finding the right
software for your company can be a daunting task. The multitude of products
and features available can easily distract you from the selection criteria
you've defined. Conflicting user feedback and vendors' claims of superiority
only add to the confusion. While many factors come into play in making
your final software decision, the key is finding the right fit. Here's
a few pointers to help in the selection process.</FONT></p>
<p><FONT FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" SIZE="2"> There is no one perfect
software out there. Each software package has its strengths and weaknesses.
The key to determining the best software for your needs is knowing what
features you cannot do without and what features you can work around.
Once you've decided on software package "must-haves", the rest is gravy.
Beware of pricey, cutting-edge enticements, whose cost may not justify
its usefulness.</FONT></p>
<p><FONT FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" SIZE="2"> Do not assume that
what works for your associates or competitors will work for you. While
industry standards are a big factor in selection, each business has
its unique mix of circumstances. Get a feel for what will work in your
professional environment. You may want to get a jump start on your software
search by reading reviews provided by professional associations.</FONT></p>
<p><FONT FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" SIZE="2"> An often forgotten
aspect in the software selection process is the consideration of your
staff's technical sophistication. What good is complex software if no
one knows how to use it? Remember that the most ideal software package
can drive your business systems only if you have properly trained personnel
to implement and manage it and good technical support to back them up.
Commit to ongoing training for your personnel and get feedback from
current users on a vendor's technical support services. Training and
good technical support are essential to the successful implementation
of software. </FONT></p>
