The Software Selection Handbook: How To Avoid A Six-Figure Mistake is designed to be a step-by-step procedure for finding, choosing, and implementing software for an organization, says its publisher. It can be used to compare your current system against software on the market today, validate processes already begun or recently completed, document the evaluation process, analyze vendor responses in a consistent, accurate, and objective manner, and provide the project team a plan to move through the process, states the publisher. All forms, worksheets, and tables used by the book's publisher are included in the accompanying CD-ROM. The publisher says that the forms, which are provided in Microsoft® Word and/or Excel, can be changed to meet the users' needs.
