Orange County,North Carolina <br /> SOFTWARE SELECTION BACKGROUND <br /> A software system is analogous to the human brain, receiving and interpreting signals from <br /> different parts of the"body,"and integrating this information in a centralized manner. <br /> With all the benefits to be gained from a successful <br /> modern software implementation, selecting the right �.- _� <br /> system and technology is more critical today than ever <br /> before. The efficiency and effectiveness of the (� <br /> organization is directly dependent on its use of technology <br /> and information systems. Organizations are realizing <br /> they must take greater advantage of automation <br /> and technology to ensure they are better " " <br /> positioned to meet growing constituent demands <br /> for accountable and transparent services. <br /> Additionally, many agencies are in a transformational stage, required to provide better service <br /> to their constituents while also coping with greater budget constraints. <br /> While these systems can move an organization into another realm of service and efficiency, it is <br /> not a"magic wand."' Consider these startling statistics: <br /> Without proper preparation, planning, and a methodology for selection and implementation, <br /> organizations face many problems and risks, including: <br /> • Spending hundreds of thousands and, potentially, millions of dollars more than necessary in <br /> total cost of ownership <br /> • Failed or prolonged implementation <br /> • Implementation of systems that still do not meet the organization's functional needs <br /> • Low productivity <br /> • Poor contract negotiation position <br /> • Lack of and/or reduced integration between other software systems <br /> 1 ITC Infotech,"ERP creating the foundation for an efficient organization"2011,http:l/www.itcinfotech.com/err)IeW- <br /> benefits.aW—x <br /> CL/ENTF/RSTTECHNOLOGY CONSULTING <br />
