Support/Help
This area is really hard to assess until you actually need to use customer support. What I do consider here are the services available. Training is another aspect that is difficult to assess without going through a training course, etc. However, I explain the training services that are available.

Relative Value
This area lists the approximate cost of the system. Obviously, a lot of variables enter this equation, such as how many users you’ll have, the number of modules purchased and the database utilized. I recommend a visit to the vendor websites, where you’ll find extensive information, links to interactive presentations and demo downloads. No one can assess the value of a product as well as the person or organization that will be using it.
