Synopsis

Successful Packaged Software Implementation guides IT departments through the selection and implementation of packaged software, pointing out potential pitfalls and how to avoid them. Offering a step-by-step approach, this volume begins with an assessment as to whether packaged software is the correct solution. It then analyzes the product selection and contract negotiation processes before addressing the technical details of installation and configuration. Although focusing primarily on acquiring, installing, and implementing applications software (the most complex category of software from an IT manager's viewpoint) this book also is applicable to shrink-wrapped and system software.
