How To Negotiate And Purchase Your ERP System

By Sharon Rae


The time when cell phones were used just for making calls and keeping in touch seems like another era altogether. For the new-age cell phone user, a cell phone is more than just another phone or a techno-gadget. It's a whole new way of life! Cell phones can be used for e-mailing friends, touch-to-talk communication, playing games and even managing personal information.

Owing a cell phone that does nothing but helps you make calls, is pass. To be considered hip and happening, cell phone users are continuously upgrading their phones and enhancing them with gizmos and accessories just so that they can be one-up on the other cell phone users.

If your phone supports custom ring tones and plays MP3, it is fairly easy to turn your favorite MP3 into your own personal ring tone. If you do a search on the internet, you will find quite a few good sites that show how to do this. So go ahead and impress your friends with a new ring tone every day.

Remember that most everything is negotiable. Software price, implementation rates, duration, and sometimes even annual maintenance contracts (those these are usually the most difficult). Perhaps negotiating when the maintenance begins will be possible. If you are splitting the user seats, have the maintenance pro-rated during the implementation phase.
