New articles: Purchasing Major Systems, and Page Layout Tools
We've got two articles up (yikes! it's a flurry of activity this week)!
First up, Peter Campbell has written a great, detailed guide to Evaluating and Purchasing Major Software Systems. It's the tactical, nuts and bolts stuff that can be so hard to wade through on your own - should you write an RFP? What should go in it? How do you compare? What do you ask a vendor to show you in a demo? What should you look for in a contract?
But if instead, you're thinking about a new method to design your print newsletters, event invitations, or that next annual report, you're going to need software - enter A Few Good Page Layout Tools. We round up the advice from a bunch of graphic design experts on what inexpensive and more robust tools can be useful, and how they differ.
