BASDA represents UK business software and is the only industry organisation focused on supporting the issues that business software development organisations face.<\/p>\n
This Guide is the second in a series of new BASDA complimentary publications created specifically to support businesses with their buying decisions with this Guide focusing on business software and apps for smaller business.\u00a0 A start-up or more established small business will have considerable demands on their scarce resources as they grow.\u00a0 The Guide offers independent “no jargon” guidance on how to select the business application(s) which will meet and support the growth plans and ability to meet statutory requirements of the business without draining internal resources.<\/p>\n
It complements the extensive 24 page Selecting Business Software Guide issued earlier this year which provided objective direction and guidance for business software buyers giving them practical advice and steps on how to effectively choose the right software to meet their business requirements.<\/p>\n

“The aim of these best practice Guides is to help businesses make the right purchasing decision by providing a straight forward and structured approach to the software selection process \u2013 with guides ranging from the most simple to the most complex business needs and sizes. We understand how difficult and distracting it can be \u2013 particularly for smaller businesses – in making these buying decisions.<\/p>\n
Consequently, we have harnessed our members’ collective knowledge and experience of thousands of selection processes each year to help companies choose software that provides the functionality that a business requires – not only now but as that business grows.<\/p>\n
We believe that this Guide, which is free to download, will prove to be an invaluable reference document in helping smaller businesses make the right software purchasing decisions \u2013 especially with the number of solutions available (and options) and so enable them to focus upon their own business \u2013 comfortable that they’ve followed best practice in selecting their business software.”<\/p>\n
