Hi guyz, My boss is looking for a dedicated payments(to handle checks,invoices, lpos etc) software - bought off the shelf. NOT quickbooks, Sage...i.e full accounting softwares but just one meant to strictly handle payments. It need not be developed to link with our back office finance processes. I work in a bank. Any suggestions? Who to contact...Advise? Thanks. Sam.

Hi Karunyu, Do Trial Versions exist in this part of the planet? Just a question, would you as the developer give your application to someone else in its trial form or even to a fellow developer for testing? I ask this coz for the times I've interacted with a few Kenyan app. developers, the setup is normally on install basis....most of them don't even leave the installation media even if you purchased the app.! U hav to keep calling them in case the host with the installation got formatted or needs to be changed! What's your take... Chris_w. dabnix@gmail.com
Or even see some screenshots?

Most of the apps I use have trial versions. My employer cannot purchase any software unless its been reviewed by the users, i.e. trial version. Just to list a few: Windows Server 2008 - 180 day trial Zend Studio 7 - 30 day trial SQLyog - 30 day trial Textmate for Mac - 30 day trial. So yes, trial versions do exist and in my opinion, form a crucial part of the software acquisition process. If I was selling software, I would make sure I have the following: 1. A product website with detailed listing of features, screenshots and manuals 2. Trial versions provided on request The reason some local developers find it hard to give out trial versions is because of: 1. Insecurity: probably someone will copy their app and sell it and etc. They could be justified. 2. Immaturity: if the application is good enough, it will sell itself. I think this is partly why the local software market is not so well developed, small scale developers rely on word of mouth to spread the word or cheesy adverts in the classifieds. But then again, I've never sold any of the softwares I've made :-)

I meant locally(Kenyan maybe) developed applications.
Here's where I don't get; if KEMSA was to buy an ERP software, do they really care whether its local or not? Do they not look at the features offered by the said software, compare it to the list of features they want and make a decision? In such a scenario, a local ISV would only be short-changing themselves if they do not provide sufficient info to the potential buyer, whilst other competitors are doing the same. Guess then you neither expect trials from Erick or another local developer
unless they have broken away from this 'fear factor' [?] .
Exactly! If i was buying a software and the local ISV was more than willing to provide a trial version, I would take that as a sign that they are supremely confident in the quality of their software, and in that regard, I would probably buy it even if it was missing a feature or two. As Martin has pointed out, some local ISVs are indeed overcoming this fear factor!
Will be following up on your leads & suggestions, thanks guyz Regards. Sam. On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 4:55 PM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
