Software Evaluation Tools
Start with a
message from Rick:
Evaluating Software is a challenge. Start your process with our
set of documents to help you through the evaluation process. I recommend you use
the tools listed below to help simplify and expedite you software evaluation
process. If you ever have any questions about the document just pick up the
phone and give me a call.
Software
Evaluation Tools:
Company
Information Form - $9.95  One of the first things you will need to do is to
identify to any vendor who you are and what your goals are for your project.
Sometimes this "Discovery" process will drag out the evaluation process. You
can expedite this phase by completing a simple Company Information Form.
It will not only help you finalize the description of your needs and your vision
for a new software solution, but it will also serve
as a way to quickly inform any potential vendor of your vision.
A Fourteen Step Software Evaluation Plan - $9.95
Follow these fourteen simple steps to find the right
accounting software for your business. The Evaluation Plan also includes a
sample “Requirements” Letter for you to submit to a potential vendor.
15 Questions to ask your software Vendor - $9.95
You can save yourself many hours of vendor selection time,
if you send a list of qualifying questions to a potential vendor before you meet
with them. However, they will not respond to your inquiry if you don’t give
them some background information on your company and why you are evaluating
software. I suggest you share our “Evaluation Plan” with them too. (See above
documents)
15 Questions a software vendor should
ask you - $9.95
A good accounting software vendor will ask questions of you
before they make recommendations. A bad vendor will just try to show you their
software and hope you will buy it. You need to know what questions a good vendor
will be asking, before they ask. We provide a set of commonly asked questions to
help you get ready for that “good” vendor.

“Is Microsoft Dynamics NAV right for you?”
I have been a Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) consultant for the last 14
years. That includes: Creating Training Materials, Creating Add-on Features,
On-Site Training, Custom Database Development, End-User Support, Database
Upgrades, and Business Improvement Projects.
I have to humbly state, that I know NAV really well. I
know what it can do, and I also know what it can’t do. Yes, there are some
things that NAV can’t do. Part of your software evaluation is to learn what NAV
can’t do and what that will mean to you.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is not for everyone. Don’t even
consider NAV for your business unless you know both the positive and the
negative features of the product. Before you lay down the big bucks, there may
be some “gaps”, and you need to know. Cost Control Software has been involved
with over 200 installations of NAV, and we already know the “gaps” and the
“fits”. We also know the 300+ Add-on products on the market that could expedite
your search.
Before you spend 40+ hours with you local NAV reseller, I
want to recommend that you spend 2 hours with me. In just 2 hours of conference
calls, I will tell you if “Microsoft Dynamics NAV is right for you”.
Here is how this works.
1. You approve
this 2 hour engagement below.
2. I send to
you my company “Discovery Bundle” (included and shown above)
3. You fill
out your company profile and your software requirements documents. (provided)
4. You e-mail
or FAX the completed documents to me for review.
5. We schedule
our first 1 hour “Discovery” conference call.
6. We have our
“Discovery Call” to clarify your requirements stated on your documents. (1 hour)
7. I review
the “Discovery Documents” and the “Discovery Call” and then prepare for our
“Gap/Fit Conference Call”.
8. We schedule
our “Gap/Fit Conference Call”.
9. We have our
“Gap/Fit Conference Call”. (1 hour)
10. Both calls
will be recorded and you will receive a copy. (included)
That's it. At the end of this process, you will know if
Microsoft Dynamics NAV should be considered. This will be the best $450 "Due
Diligence" investment you ever made. If you are not 100% satisfied
with the information I provide, I will return immediately your investment.
“Is Microsoft Dynamics NAV right for you?” Price
$450 USD
You will instantly receive the “Discovery Bundle” upon approval of your credit
card.
