Buying Software Online For My New Home Business

Buying Software Online For My New Home Business

You may have seen my recent article on buying a new computer online where I detailed the steps I went through to get my new i5 laptop. The next thing I needed was to buy software for it for my new home office. Being a freelance web designer and software engineer I needed a variety of software for my one-man business including, photo editing software, accounting software, website software and office software.

Where to buy Small Business Software?

A great place to buy software is an online software store, there are some great software stores on the web. A good online software store will carry a huge range of software from many different software companies and software types such as website software or accounting software.

What type of Small Business Software?

As many companies offer the same types of business software I always do a little research by looking in computer magazines and by visiting online resources to find out what the best software solutions are. One of the popular PC magazines I use for this carries an excellent monthly review of all the popular areas of computing such as hardware, software and peripherals and they also give the best place to source the particular item at the best price.

The software section of the reviews is particularly good and is split down in to specific software sections such as website software, photo editing software, accounting software, and office software.

Once I have an idea of the best types of software I then look at online reviews of the software. Software stores often provide reviews of the software they carry. However, these can be quite brief due to space limitations. More in depth reviews can be readily found with a quick search of the internet.

What Level of Small Business Software to buy?

Many of the market leaders of the various types of software such as Adobe for photo editing software and Microsoft for office software are fragmenting their once single product range into different software solutions and also different software levels.

So, it is quite common to be able to buy software with same software product name e.g. Microsoft Office but it is now available in different levels.

You can often buy an entry level product, a mid-level product, an advanced level and even a corporate level version of the same software. The difference between the different levels is the amount of functionality that each one offers. Continuing with the Microsoft Office example, this will mean that only a few of the Office products are available in the entry level software but all products are available in their advanced level versions.

Choosing which level of website software, accounting software, photo editing software or office software to buy is down to personal preference and individual requirements. If money is not an issue it may be worth looking at the advanced editions to have all the functionality at your fingertips.
