Welcome to SoftResources’ software evaluation blog!  This site will be a great resource for you to get information about  business software (ERP, CRM, HR/PR, Financials, Projects, etc.) and how to go through the software selection process. Since founding SoftResources in 1995, we have conducted over 600 software evaluation and selection projects with companies both large and small. This blog will allow you to gain software vendor insight as we share our experience and vendor knowledge to help you through the software evaluation process. The purpose of this blog will be two-fold:

1. Software Evaluation/Selection Tips – We will provide software selection tips to help you improve your software selection process.

2. Software Vendor Information - We will provide information about software vendors and products including where they fit, what types of companies they focus on, some of the key advantages a software vendor or product offers, and how you can evaluate them to see if they would be a fit for your organization.

This site will include written posts, video blogs, and interviews with software vendors so you can get to know them and allow you to start the process of evaluating if they would be a good fit for your organization.

If you have questions, or would like more information regarding certain software vendors, email us at info@softwareevaluationblog.com. If you would like more information regarding software selection and how SoftResources can help you with a software selection project at your organization, check out SoftResources web site at www.softresources.com. The SoftResources website has a wealth of free information regarding the software selection process and how to take your software selection project step by step through the process. It also has some great tips on selecting a Value Added Reseller/Implementation Partner and software contract negotiation

Over the past 15 years and 600 software evaluation and selection projects we have found that a thorough evaluation of your software options is essential to making sure that you implement a software product that is a good fit, will help you grow, and is the right level of sophistication for your company. Too many organizations spend too much money and buy software that is overly complex for their needs! While many companies try to take shortcuts through the software selection process, putting together a good requirements document and properly evaluating your software options will mitigate the risk of a failed implementation.

We are looking forward to helping you evaluate software and lead a successful software selection and implementation project for your organization!
