Best Practices in Procurement of Software and Services

Dear All,

We library professionals users various software in the handling of our work and services to the users. More or less, we use one LMS, digital Repository software, Website, Learning Software, etc. and continues every year. As we all know the software and other services are available in different nature, such as local, web-based, cloud-based etc. Economically the categorisation is commercial, free(also open source).

People call to collect opinions from others who are already a user. Giving advice is easy since it is personal; however, it carries the data of organisation, name, the reputation of the insition. So with this forum, I wish to share my experience on any software, services or testimony that ask vendor, supplier or company to give the service on trial for one year. If software and their services are found suitable and working without any hindrance, then the service may be continued with previous year payment as well.

Giving and taking opinions may be nature of outdated, biased or wrong. I am sure this kind of deal with service providers will bring more quality in products and perfection in their services.

Thanks!
