Inc. When shopping for software to run your company, don't let price be the main or determining factor in your decision. As in any business, price can be deceiving. There are many ways to buy software, just as there are many ways to climatize a large building. We all know that buying window air conditioners, for every room in the house, would not be cost efficient or effective - but you might get the job done.
Software is no different.
Buying pieces of software and trying to develop office procedures around them, will cause many wasted hours in repetitive entry. Today's volatile market conditions with ever changing marketing strategies and growing government regulations lay a heavy burden on the contractor. The answer lies in your computer system. The true cost of a new software system can best be measured by the results it produces. Of course, there is no way to know the results until after the fact - unless you really do your homework first.
