When your business needs a software solution before it can move forward, you’ll find yourself inundated with options. There will be companies out there clamoring for your business even if they’re not 100% the right fit for you. Your job isn’t to find the cheapest solution—it’s to find the best solution. And in order to do that, you’ll need to know what to look for. Here are top considerations and tips for choosing the right software solution provider from the outset:
- A clear understanding of the desired results. The fastest way to get “taken in” by a salesperson is to let them dictate the terms. But your company has specific goals, so don’t lose sight of what’s important to you. Eschew costly add-ons and long-term deals where they try to dress up a more expensive offering as a bargain. Any time you can pin your vendor down on deliverables, you’re far more likely to have success with your software solution.
- Introducing a new software solution into your preexisting infrastructure is a little risky. Sure, it might go off without a hitch. But what if it doesn’t? You need to know—usually by contacting other people who have worked with this software provider before—that the customer support will be there for you. A good software service experience can be ruined by poor support, and a poor software offering can be majorly upgraded with higher-quality support.
