6. Mistakes to avoid

Don't waste time and money looking for software for your functional analysis.

This kind of purchase requires trial and error. Not all software is created equal. They are not all adapted to your field of application, your particularities, and so on.

The investment is only worthwhile if you want to carry out a large number of systematic functional analyses.

Contact suppliers, request a demonstration or trial period. Devote time, training and resources (different staff) to testing the program.

Make an informed choice.
