How to choose a
software?
-
Quality
Technique - Choice
softwares for windows, with pleasant appearance and easiness
of agreement of the functions. Softwares developed stops Of
is limited and problematic in its restrictions of resources
and interface, and still several softwares for windows seem
(or they are) very amateur, with so confused screens that
its manuscript and understanding if become a so arduous task
that makes it difficult its implantation in the farm. It
runs of softwares whose screens are very complex, with many
fields to be filled. These softwares complicate the use in
day-by-day and hinder the work them operators in the farms.
-
Functions
- It observes if
software has the basic functions of registers in cadastre of
animals, registers sanitary, productive control (of weight
and milk), and reproductive control, and observes
differentials as the managemental, statistical reports of
the flock and etc. The functions must be simple and
functional. It does not look software that complicates
excessively the things or that he is very complex because
its manuscript will not be made by analysts of systems or
programmers.
-
Updates -
She sees if the company makes a continuous development of
software with implementations of new features, easinesses
and etc... She also sees the price of these updates so that
they are not very excessive or impracticable.
-
Taxes -
the operational cost of the customer is calculated on the
basis of the price of software and the great expense of man
power resources that the customer will go to use of the
company. For this, the companies or charge an initial high
value in software or parcel out this value in monthly fee
taxes or costs of update or support. Until there nothing
more of the one than just: somebody works pra you and this
somebody needs to pay its accounts. But an excellent
comparison that you must make is of how much you it will go
to expend of resources per year with software, updates and
support technician. For example: Software the R$395,00 cost,
the company launches semester updates that cost R$40,00
each, and does not charge for the Support Technician (the
cost of the support already is inlaid in the previous
values); then you it will be paying annually for this
company: R$475,00. The Windows costs R$850,00 and to each
year a new version is launched (update) that it costs price
the same. Or either, you spend R$850,00 annually. Click

Price -
As said above, not only observes the paid value for the
license in the act of the purchase, but also values of
monthly fee, updates and support technician. It observes the
annual cost of software pra that you it can use the version
most modern, updates and attendance to the lesser possible
cost.
-
Support
Technician - It
verifies if the company supplies to Support Technician, if
he is gratuitous and under which conditions the attendance
is supplied. It also sees which canals of attendance are
disponibilizados (telephone, InterNet, email, personal
attendance) and the technological resources for solution of
problems that you perhaps comes to face.
-
Limits
of Installation -
It observes limits of installation of software in computers,
limits of farms and limits of users. For the company, the
more farms the user will have, more human resources and
technician will be used by this user, increasing the cost of
maintenance of the copy. In case that analyzed software has
some of these limits, it verifies if the increase of cost
for each farm does not exceed the acceptable one. The ideal
is that software is cheap and increases in the R$40 maximum
for farm addition or computer for installation. Thus its
cost if becomes viable for small producers and it does not
make of a software a risky investment.
Summarizing:
As on all the
products, its choice must be based on the Benefícios/Custos
relation, using basically the formula:
This indicates
that the more benefits and minors are the costs, greater is the
satisfaction with the product, and this relation guarantees that
the satisfaction is not only guaranteed by the low price or only
by the benefits supplied for the product, but is an union of the
two criteria. |
