Decision Driver for Financial System Application Software (ASGA) Vendors offering enterprise Financials systems range from multi-billion dollar ERP vendors, to mid-market-oriented standalone Financials application vendors. Project teams making Financials selections must determine both, the appropriate vendors with which to pursue a long-lasting relationship, as well as which application best meets their organization's current needs and future direction. While market consolidation has increased exponentially the amount of vendor hype surrounding functionality, the main functions of Financials / General Accounting are the same as they have been for decades: tracking and reporting the financial transactions and status of an organization. Organizations should not risk the success of their Financial technology initiatives by relying on sophisticated, but standardized, vendor presentations. Asking the right questions, as a part of a structured selection methodology, is a complex task that involves evaluating hundreds of criteria spanning functionality, technical architecture, cost, vendor service and support capabilities, company viability, and corporate management vision for the vendor's next generation of products and services.   Tour Test drive our Vendor Selection Tools to better understand how they can work for you.
