Choosing a business management software is a big decision involving both- your time & money. If you are in the process of buying one or have bought one in the past, you know how exhausting it can be to zero down to software that meets all your requirements, fits your budget and is easy to use.
However, where businesses often go wrong is spending all most of their time researching for the best software and little or no time choosing the right business to work with i.e a business partner. Your business partner is just as critical as the software solution you chose to implement.
So, what is a business partner and why are they so important?
