project management
software selection support

Selecting a project or enterprise management software can be a daunting task. What features are available? What features do I need? What features would be nice to have? How much is it worth to have those features? What can my organization handle? Where do we stand today? How long will it take to get up to speed? How much will training cost me? Where do I get training once I buy the platform? What sort of support will I receive after I buy the product? How will the platform interact with my other systems (accounting, timesheets, etc.)? How will the platform interact with the outside world? All these are formidable questions, and only scratch the surface on what you face when trying to select the right PM platform for your organization.
