The time and effort you will put into the system is more significant than the cost of the system itself.
Consider the following when purchasing the system:
- The time it will take to initially learn and set up the system
- The time you will spend reading and understanding all the documentation
- The time and effort it will take to implement and get the system running
- The ongoing monitoring and management to ensure compliance with the system
- The maintenance and upkeep required for the system
Keep in mind that, on average, implementing a system can cost five to ten times more than the cost of the software or system itself.
