Topic #2: Cost
In an ideal world cost wouldn't be a determining factor when buying software. Unfortunately we live in a world where we need and want the price to be right. Making sure you pay only for the features you need is the number one priority when it comes to price. The added features included in the more expensive software package might look appealing at first, but will you really need them for your business to be productive? Will your employees benefit by those extra features? If the answer to those questions are not a definite yes, than you should stick with the package that satisfies your basic necessities.
There are some unexpected hidden costs when you are purchasing software for a company. The first one is licensing. If you're planning on using the software on more than one computer, you will have to buy individual licenses for each. You also might have to buy the software all over again to get another license. Making sure your systems are compatible with the software is another issue. Memory upgrades are common in order for software to work properly. You can find more detail on these topics in later sections.
