Website/Software Comparision:
How web sites and Software are compared
Being a technical consultant we normally used to do software comparison
exercise in-order to proposed appropriate solution to our client.
We not always proposed same solution to every client rather first
consider the nature of customer and some requirements given.
For example if a customer come to me and said we want to implement
an ERP in our organization you send me the proposal. What do we
do against this RFP? Off course we at first attempt try to identify
the nature of organization for which we are going to propose a solution
later consider their inclination toward particular platform because
of their already setup environment or relationship with the vendor.
In short in providing a solution to a customer we always try to
identify what actually customer wants from that ERP and some time
if customers don�t know then we do another consultancy to let them
know what actually they needed for their business.
Hence we concluded that any comparison b/w software requires consideration of at least two elements first objectivity and second one is role.
In general software & web sites are compared in term of
- Function points, functionality they are giving to accomplish certain
task.
- Performance & efficiency
- Scalability
- Ease of use
- Security in term of preventive, detective & corrective control
measures for security and integrity

1. Accuracy of Web Documents
2. Authority of Web Documents
3. Objectivity of Web Documents
4. Currency of Web Documents
