System Solutions: A Best-of-Breed Strategy

First, try to get by with as few systems as possible. This sounds obvious, but it’s possible to have one or more systems too many in your mix, if you try to optimize every aspect of the business. There’s a theoretical justification for all of the systems mentioned above, but it surely would be overkill to install one of each. If nothing else stops you from going overboard, the expense surely will. Also, each new system adds to the burden of training your system’s users.
