Abstract
Illustrates the selection of accounting software packages (AP) by correlating user needs to system specifications. A recommendation report ranks the software in descending order of their correlations to user needs. As a by‐product the system educates the consultant or user by explaining the specifications, making their expectations more realistic and avoiding unpleasant “after the fact” surprises.
