Think of a small business that you would like to own or manage. Be open to all possibilities – anything from a bicycle

shop to a veterinary clinic. Research at least two software options for operating that business (Google ‘Veterinary

Software’ or whatever is appropriate for your business). Find out what they cost if you can (sometimes you can’t from

the website) and make a list of the major features. Create a comparison chart of the two packages, then make a choice.

Briefly justify your choice (why did you choose one over the other?). Comment on your experience of trying to choose the

‘right’ software for a business.
