| FSDE Compliant? |
| Friday, 28 March 2008 | |
Here’s an example of how the FSDE standard benefits a flooring dealer: Estimation or labor scheduling software may transfer information to business systems, and business systems software can transfer information to cutting machines. FSDE enables dealers to be able to pick and choose which software is best for their company. For example, it could be that a dealer likes the estimation software from company A, and the business management system from company B. In the past, software from different companies could not transfer information between themselves. Thus for compatibility, you were forced to purchase all of your products from a single company, regardless of whether that product best fit your needs. The FSDE standard gives dealers the option of choosing the software that they like the best. It also puts more pressure on software companies to make better software, because it provides healthy competition. Products are evaluated on their own merits rather than being forced down the customer’s throat. So by choosing software that supports the FSDE standard the dealer wins in two ways: First, they get to choose; and secondly, they will get better software. We recommend that you look for software which supports this standard, or at least ask the question of why the company is choosing not to support the standard. If they cannot give you a good answer, they may not have your best interest in mind |
