About *** manage system, I would like do three supplements, just for reference.
1. Assessment of software provider
For cinema ticket software directly involved in the operation of the company's management, selection is to choose partners rather than simply choose software. We have to make a serious choice like "Strategic Alliances". Once the partners selected, it is necessary to establish a "cooperative" attitude.
We have to make a comprehensive assessment of software providers by the provider's economic strength, professional background, technical strength, product strength, technical support strength, capacity for sustainable development and corporate reputation. At the same time, provider’s professional focus on its main industry (cinema) must be taken account on, for it will bring us incalculable damage.
 
2. Assessment of products
Software is asked to pay greater attention to practicality at the time of pursuit advanced. The software functions must be consistent with the company philosophy and software design features. Together we have to make the choice from the perspective of integrated software products.
According to the analysis of Fire Phoenix VS VISTA 080608.xls, I think:
1) on the basis of comparison of price and function, we must make analysis on system’s security, stability, its openness (of the expansion of the software interface), compatibility, platform and cross-platform, the sharing of information and data, the software can be implemented , The market share of software users and software, upgrading of capacity, preserve and management. We should also take the risk assessment (software risk, the risk platform, the functional risk, data risk, etc.) into account. It will help us to have a more in-depth understanding of software and content management software for an objective assessment of the value.
2) *
3) *
 
3. Assessment of after-sales service
1) Software problems after implementation are not resolved by technology, but service. It is a test of creditability and stability of software providers.
2) At the time of two type of products choice, we can not overlook the value of after-sales service (training, project management, implementation guidance, and the secondary development of the user, etc.) and the timeliness of service (failure to resolve the time). If VISTA has no team technical services in China, we have fully reason to believe that the FP services will be much better than VISTA.
