A car gets you where you want to go - and is a great deal faster than walking.
Software performs much the same function.
And just as with a car, you shouldn't buy software without thoroughly investigating the wide variety of models or packages available. Software is not inexpensive, and its selection is perhaps the most critical decision to be made when computerizing your business. Experts agree that before choosing hard- ware, you need to decide what software you will use. A computer is only as good as its soft- ware. However, very few computer buyers ap- proach it that way.
