Now Available: The NAGASA Guide
to Selecting a New Computer System

NAGASA has just published its second in a series of how-to guides geared toward special interests within the membership. Created to assist the smaller NAGASA member in selecting the most cost-effective computer system for their needs, the guide also describes how to watch for some of the pitfalls that come with purchasing and installing a new system.

The first section of the guide provides a step-by-step process for selecting a system as well as which company employees should be in on the purchasing decision. The second section focuses on factors guiding the decision-making process, including costs, reliability, and service and maintenance issues. The final section of the guide focuses on features and capabilities of a computer system and how to decide which of them fits your business’ needs.

Working with the author, Dick Friedman, was a NAGASA task force comprised of: Paul Doucette, Doucette Corporation; Gene Brett, E. Thomas Brett Business Machines; Jack Gruhl, Instant Graphics; Julius Hjulian, Texas Type Co.; Kent Walker, Walker Supply Company; and Nat Zucker, Pic Graphic Products.

Each NAGASA member firm will receive one copy of the guide at no charge. Additional copies may be purchased for

$95. Non-members may purchase for $155. Order a copy from the NAGASA
web site, located at www.nagasa.org
