Abstract:
The rapid pace of the computer revolution may well be slowed by the lack of suitable software. Though computers should be increasing business efficiency and productivity, many companies do not have the software that would enable them to enjoy these benefits. Packaged software can close the gap for both large and small companies. Here are some guidelines for making the decision whether to buy a package and for avoiding trouble once the package is installed. The article also describes the features a company should look for in packaged software and the optimal provisions of a software contract.
