Words of Wisdom on Successful Software Selection from… the Buddha!


The Buddha's wise words have survived for thousands of years, so we thought it would be fun and interesting to see if they apply to something as thoroughly modern as choosing the right software solution. And it turns out they do! Check out today's feature blog post for some sage—and practical—advice on unlocking the mysteries of successful enterprise software selection from none other than the "enlightened one."

When a vendor almost misses out on a deal worth $35 million because it's left off a selection shortlist, who's to blame? Today's second feature blog post looks at what happens when communication breaks down between a consultant and an analyst firm—and some basic responsibilities go unfulfilled.

If you're at the shortlist stage of your software selection project, take a moment to respond to our brief poll and let us know how comfortable you are with your list of potential vendors.

Looking to save money on your enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation? Today's feature report shows how small and midsized businesses can lower their ERP implementation costs by partnering with the right value-added reseller (VAR).
