If you are a Software genius, getting software advice probably isn’t such a big deal. When asked whether a named ERP software is valuable and sensible, I guess you would do your own evaluation without hesitation. But most software buyers still need outside advice regarding the value of any tailor-made accounting, networking and communication solutions.
In this article, I want to give you the key reason why it is important to seek software advice. Indeed, there are various other good reasons why people look for advice despite these impressive facts you are about to read.
Generally, we all face trade-offs in our purchase decisions. Our income is limited and the ERP software choices available today are numerous. In order to make the right software choices, we have no option but to combine our budget constraint (What software we can afford) and our preferences (What software we would like to have). This is exactly why it is critical that you get right advice.
Every serious investor is looking world-class technology to provide them with tools to make their vision a reality. Unfortunately, intangible things are hard to quantify. It is practically difficult to see the value in a software solution without a clear understanding of the system functionalities. That is why some self service buyers take software advice seriously in order to make informed purchase decisions.
You might be saying, “Well but I live in ‘wired’ world why ask for advice when I can do my own research on Internet?” Truly, as individuals, we all do a lot of research for our personal purchases on the internet comparing product prices and credentials of various software sellers. That is not enough! Michael LeBoeuf wrote in his book Working Smart that, “Jumping around and splashing in water doesn’t mean you are swimming.” Besides, there is no reason to pretend to be a genius.
Interestingly, investigators found that “some people seem to be genetically geared either to make compromises or take more extreme options by selecting sure gains or simply take gabbles.”
To put it simply, the reason is simple. We all need advice in one way or another. It is up to you to decide whether to seek advice or not. If you don’t see any value in advice or your organization does not take any outside advice seriously, I would advise you to give it a try.
