"For over a decade, we've encountered corporate executives who struggle with the
demands of the software selection process. Many find choosing the right software
evaluation methodology or even locating a quality system consultant an overwhelming
task. In an effort to help these companies, TGI developed and published a free
resource for project managers called the Software Selection Tool Kit," according to
Rebecca Gill, vice-president of Technology Group International (TGI).
The Software Selection Tool Kit is free to all manufacturing and distribution
companies who are engaged in a system evaluation project. It was designed to provide
guidance and software selection assistance in an economical and time efficient
manner. Gill noted, "Although these documents are the property of TGI and
copyrighted, we have opened usage of tool kit up to all manufacturers and
distributors who are in the process of selecting a new software package. The kit
allows small to medium size companies (SMB) locate and select the best enterprise
package for their firm, without having to spend a significant portion of their
budget on consulting services."
In addition to end users, TGI also allows independent consultant's access to the
Software Selection Tool Kit. Consultants are welcome to utilize the templates and
worksheets within their consulting practice, as long as the consultant is an
independent and unbiased resource. Consultant authorization of the tool kit is
available by contacting TGI's corporate office.
The white papers and templates cover all aspects of system evaluation for a variety
of packages including ERP software, distribution software, manufacturing software,
warehouse management systems, e-commerce software, as well as business intelligence
and decision support systems. Documents are available twenty-four hours a day and
are completely free. They are designed for the self-serve type of project team that
simply needs a little help and a few pointers when engaging in the software
selection process.
