by Jim Brown & P.J. Jakovljevic
May 23, 2003 Abstract : Past experience shows us that the vast majority of enterprise technology evaluations run over time and budget, and once selected, the majority of the implementations fail to meet functional, return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) expectations.

Software Selection: A Third Alternative Part One: The Buyer's Perspective (4 Pages)
by Joseph J. Strub
May 14, 2005 Abstract : Recently, the traditional method of selecting software based on functions and features has come under scrutiny.

A third alternative for selecting software, which will be discussed in this article, attempts to provide the assurances needed by the buyer and the efficiency desired by the vendor.
