Finding the Right Path to Computerization

Paying more than necessary for software does not assure a better program or service. The only vendors claiming "You get what you pay for" are the ones with the highest costs. They also claim that you should pay more to them because they've 'been around longer'. Nonsense.

Getting on the right path to the right program and provider is just a process of eliminating negatives.

For example -

Buy software from a trustworthy source.

• Do individual programs portray a 'false company image'?
• Is the cost of software over time fully disclosed prior to purchase?
• Are fees given equal emphasis?
• Do you own the software?
• Is important information made readily available or must you hunt for answers to your questions?

Buy software. Don't rent it.

Some vendors (like Liberty and Consignpro) advertise software 'for sale' and display 'purchase prices' on their websites. They are not selling 'software'. They are selling software 'licenses' which only allow you to use the software.

This important adverse provision should be made abundantly clear to you prior to purchase.

Moreover, 'renting' is very expensive. You're initial payment is only 10% or less of the total amount you will pay for several imaginative fees after purchase. Just add up other programs' cost for 10 years: $995 down payment, $1,000-$6,000 in total annual fees, $1,000-$5,000 added features and add-on fees = $10,000+ easy.

BCSS Diamond is $595. You own it. Sell it later for ~$400. Net cost 10 years: $195. No service fees. No add-on fees. No fees for adding back stripped features. No nonsense.

What's the catch? There isn't any. We generate income from software sales. Most of our competitors derive the majority of their incomes from software fees.

Buy and learn software once.

If you buy software from an established software company, chances are you won't have to buy and learn another program later. There are 2 software 'companies', Liberty and BCSS.

So, does the right path to software naturally lead to BCSS because this is our website and we say so? Nope. The path leads to our front door because as our current customers attest, we treat them with respect and we don't exploit them with big price tags and 'surprises' after purchase.
