Ops Tip of the Week

When selecting new software, you have several options: some new, some not. You’ll find varying pricing models depending on vendor. Some are the traditional per concurrent user, while others are based on annual order volumes or server processing capacity. Software as a service (SaaS), or on-demand software, is becoming an option. And how this is priced also has its own options, from the simple per-user/per-month fee to a revenue sharing model. Understand these options and what they give you with these different models. To find out more, plan now to attend the upcoming two-day interactive workshop, Evaluating, Selecting and Implementing Direct Commerce Systems, June 17-18 in Richmond, Va., co-presented by Catalog Success and F. Curtis Barry & Co. For registration and other information, go to www.fcbco.com/seminar .
