The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Charles...take it from someone who was in the business for 18 years telling
customers how to justify a purchase...
What if there were 10 million users, but what you are doing was incompatible
with the application. Or suppose there were 10 users but the application was
designed for what you are doing?
What does whether I'm using it, or Bill's using it, or Harry's using it have
to do with whether it is the best for what you're looking to do?
Features and benefits to your company that apply only to you...that's what
makes the justification.
