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

Especially web sites at high level are compared in term of
1. Accuracy of Web Documents
2. Authority of Web Documents
3. Objectivity of Web Documents
4. Currency of Web Documents
5. Coverage of the Web Documents
