| At Kensai we believe
that Vendor stability is a key element of
the software selection process. You do not
want to purchase a software package and then
have the vendor go out of business during
or after it has been implemented. Nor do you
want the vendor to cease offering support
for the package.
Below is a shortened form of the checklist
we use to evaluate the financial stability
of software vendors.
