The selection of the “most-fit” IT system is a wearing task given management considerations, time constraints, and the diversity of the users in question. Consequently, users often complain about their system and their vendor support. BD CONSULT works with its clients to develop criteria and a process for selecting the most appropriate information system to address their needs.
