Some decisions are too technical, too complex, or just too big to make without expert advice. Corporate giants rely on input from highly paid consultants from Big 6 accounting firms to help select the right client/server systems. Now smaller companies can do the same - at a fraction of the price.
In this nontechnical book, Jim Gaston, a lead consultant with Price Waterhouse LLP, speaks directly to CFOs, senior managers, consultants, and information systems leaders. His guiding theme is that senior management must set the goals, mobilize the talent, and focus on a set of guiding principles to ensure getting the right systems at the right price. Taking a deliberate, step-by-step approach, he:
Reviews the principles that upper management should follow when selecting a client/server system. Provides practical tips and strategies for putting these principles into action. Demonstrates the creation of a strategic plan that will support information systems goals. Presents an overview of the decision-making process for purchasing a new system. Supplies charts and tables that enable managers to track and guide the entire process. Saves small and mid-size companies money by providing a consulting service that would otherwise cost thousands of dollars.
For CEOs, CFOs, controllers, IS managers, and other senior managers in small to mid-size companies, "Getting the Right Systems at the Right Price" helps you make this tough decision with confidence and maximize your return on one of the most important investments your company will ever make.
