Publisher's Synopsis
Successful computerization demands a professional approach to systems selection. Business activities or other professional tasks may be ripe for implementation on computer-based systems, but selection of inadequate or inappropriate systems leads at best to inefficient performance and at worst to total systems collapse.;This book provides help for managers and other professionals needing to choose computer hardware and software. The focus is on small systems, but the general approach, the systematic use of checklists and the attention to all principal selection features are intended to have a wider relevance.
