DecisionMax Software

 

Are you constantly logging onto web sites, collecting brochures and chasing product spec sheets to compare IT Products?  

 

If you do, DecisionMAX’s new “IT Catalog” Service will literally save you hundreds of hours of brochure hunting!

 

No longer do you need to keep up with new products by reading press snippets: with IT Catalog you can run the reviews yourself.

 

Primed with the key feature and list pricing (updated monthly), IT Catalog can give you the negotiating edge in seconds.

The manufacturers' brochures and specifacation sheets fall by the way side in comparison! As IT Catalog's interactive format compares every supplier against the same common product templates. 

 

This means you can run any detailed review by choosing from the 1000's of data fields to build your own comparison tables. For added flexibility, you can add additional products through smart drop down menus.
