Software Needs Analysis Services Selecting a new software system is not the same as browsing the sales rack at the local department store, yet too many companies take just that approach. The current trend is for buyers to ask vendors "What do you have?" rather than first asking themselves, "What do we need?" The result of this approach to purchasing software is dissatisfaction. Our Software Needs Analysis service focuses on the question, "What does this business need?". We answer this question by reviewing a business's processes, strategic goals and initiatives, interviewing key personnel, and assessing the current information technology infrastructure. The finished product is a detailed document that can be used either for evaluating and selecting a vendor's package or for developing a specification for a custom built system.
