Product Evaluation
While the number of competing software products available is the sign of a healthy marketplace, it can make selecting the right product difficult.

After an initial consultation, in which we determine your requirements, we evaluate a broad range of commercial off-the-shelf, customised and open source solutions, drawing on expertise from our software development and networking resources to scrutinise the reality of marketing claims made by vendors.
Our product evaluation addresses the following areas in plain English:
- Ease-of-use
- Stability
- Upfront and Ongoing Costs
- Vendor Support
- Integration
