It may sound obvious but is important that you make the right choice because making the wrong choice will waste both your time and money. Do your research, make a list of your business needs and ‘wishes', examine independent reviews and do not be afraid to seek the advice of experts where necessary.

Security of data is a hot topic these days and you will, of course, want to make sure that your time and money is not wasted, or your security compromised, by stored data disappearing in front of your eyes. You should check that your landlord software developer has security at the top of its list of priorities and that the system you invest in has adequate back up facilities.
