Too many decisions?

If you do not have a system at present the decision to adopt a particular software system can seem more daunting than for those who have already gone down the path and are now looking to change.

In addition to the merits of the particular system itself, users new to computerisation will have all the concerns associated with adopting a new form of technology as well.  How will your staff react? What if it all goes horribly wrong? Can I afford it?

For users looking to change to a new system from a current system the issues are likely to be different. 

Are the advantages in making the change greater than the temporary upheaval that change will cause? Is any potential short term staff unsettlement and additional training worth the effort?  What are the likely consequences if I don't make a change? Am I being left behind by new technology?

None of these issues are easy. Hopefully the two pages associated with this subject will help to allay your fears and help you to make the right choice.
