Does anybody remember the old Fram oil filter commercial "pay me now, or pay me later"? It describes a situation where, if you don't change your oil and filter in your car on a regular basis, you will pay maore for it later, by having to buy a new engine.
The same thing applies to buying software. It has gotten very easy to buy business software. Just download it. It is easy to use. There is no effort to install. Most business managers will buy first, then investigate later. This can be a waste of money, time and effort. You may get some value from it, but you can get a lot more, if you plan for it. In addition, the cost of implementing new business software goes far beyond the price of the software. There are many other hidden costs. Check out my articles at www.thevirtualcio.ca for more information.
The problem comes with the changes to your business: the process, job definition and training. If you aren't prepared for that, you will lose in the end. Your productivity will go down. Your costs will go up. You may not get any value from the software.
By doing a little planning up front, you will understand the total costs, understand exactly what benefit you will get and how you will get it and minimize the lost productivity.
We have all heard the old The problem with not preparing for what you will do with software that you buy.
