Next February 11, at 4:00 p.m., we will offer a talk at the Parque Tecnológico del Vallés, in Cerdanyola, especially useful for those people who are considering purchasing business management software for their company. The objective is to offer valuable information to avoid later risks and unnecessary surprises.
Choosing a management program is one of the most important decisions for a company. In most cases, it will be a decision that will entail a significant investment, a redefinition of management processes, a period of adaptation by the staff that will use it, and, during the years that it is operational, great dependence on this tool. In return, the chosen software is expected to improve the company's daily operations, make it more efficient and competitive, and allow it to grow by facing new challenges and projects.
In this talk, we will observe what alternatives the market offers and we will try to explain the points that each person in charge of the company (general director, financial director, area manager, and IT manager) should take into account so that the solution finally implemented is the ideal one. and no unpleasant surprises. All with an understandable and illuminating language.
The planned program is:
- Traditional software vs. free software
- Examples and figures
- What makes free software exceptional?
- Things that an area manager should know
- Things a CFO should know
- Things a CEO should know
- Things an ICT director should know
- Business models on free software
The talk is free but places are limited.
