Researching & Selecting Business Software

posted on January 26, 2010

daily grindWeb 2.0 – Marketing 2.0 – Sales 2.0 – Social Media craze – our first black President – women succeeding in business leadership roles that used to be “glass ceilings” – and so on. We clearly live in a progressive generation. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell journalist who write predictable, annual reviews on how to buy software.

I read last week another article by a journalist claiming to understand the best way to find accounting software. Actually, the content was regurgitation of software buying tips we’ve all seen many times over the years. Here are the article’s main points:

Understand Your Accounting Needs

Talk to your accountant and staff

Know your budget limitations

Reach out to other businesses and software consultants

Create your wish list

Make your business accounting software decision

Look, not searching, but re-searching business software is a major task. Reference my blog – http://blog.solutionexplorers.com/?p=67 .

This article mentioned numerous times “the next step you need to take is…” Question: Do YOU internally have the time or knowledge resources to take on yet another time-consuming task? Some businesses do, possibly a nonprofit with volunteer assistance, but most folks I talk with are struggling to find work-life balance. Are you really willing to invite numerous sales calls, marketing packets, and demos into your already busy work life?
