Guidelines for Choosing a Synagogue Management Software Vendor
- Be sure to view Software Demos
- Be sure to get a user base listing (synagogues that already have the software up and running)
- Call your colleagues and discuss all pertinent issues (successes and failures)
- Be sure to have remote access software installed (very helpful in respect to service)
- Be sure that service and training are part of the agreement
- Pricing should take synagogue membership size into account
- Be sure to discuss the issue of the operating system
- Be sure that software will run well on synagogue hardware
- Be sure to discuss the issue of features/modules (buy only what you need)
- Be sure to discuss the issue of network/systems (administrative connectivity, user access, upgrades & LAN)
