How long has the vendor been providing fund accounting</div><div>solutions? &nbsp;Is fund accounting their primary product or is it a secondary application?</div><div>2. How of ten do &nbsp;they update &nbsp;the product? Are the upgrades</div><div>offered as part of the service agreement or is there an additional</div><div>charge?&nbsp;</div><div>3. Does their support meet your needs? What about response time,</div><div>800 numbers, qualified technicians?</div><div>4. Is the documentation high quality? Is it available on-line? &nbsp;</div><div>5. Can the vendor provide you with a list of customer references</div><div>to check? &nbsp;</div><div>Is This Software Right For You?&nbsp;</div><div>Before you make your selection, you’ll need to see a product demonstration and, of course, check references. Product demonstrations come</div><div>in many forms. Many are nothing more than slide presentations or pareddown versions of the software. These demos may convey a list of features, but they won’t demonstrate how the product actually works.</div><div>A better alternative is to visit the software firm. You’ll get a highly</div><div>interactive demo and meet directly with sales, support, technical, and</div><div>administrative personnel.&nbsp;</div><div>Then, double-check your impression of the firm with reference calls</div><div>to organizations similar to yours. Are customers happy with both the</div><div>product and service? &nbsp;</div><div>Finally, consider whether you feel comfortable doing business with</div><div>the software provider. Does the company seem competent, sincere, and</div><div>have a real desire to meet your needs? Are they in this business for the</div><div>long run?</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6069113494074739819-5398938867701756985?l=buyaccountingsoftware.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Guntawathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18033494007693953483noreply@blogger.com1
