You want to use the best software for your work—everyone does. But how do you choose the best software—and how do you define “best”, anyhow? If you need a hammer, it’s pretty much easy to find a nice one. But software is more subjective: the best tool for you may not be the best for someone else.
Enterprises are different from each other, only the one that suits you is the best. In this article, the author summarizes some issues that need to be considered in software selection.
Business needs
First you should figure out where you are and what you need. It’s crucial to limit distraction when you’re getting started—and while software can be a valuable tool, it can also be a distraction. But when your business matures, the right software can help you break through bottlenecks and solve dilemmas. So, clarifying your own needs is a prerequisite for choosing a suitable software.
After clarifying the purpose, you should also list the expectations for the software. Whether the use of this software meets development needs of the enterprise. Enterprises should have a plan for future development and take software construction into consideration.
It is necessary to consider whether the functions of the software can meet the requirements in the next few years or have good scalability.
Users of the software
