			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The number of software offerings in the space has increased, and the marketing spin is increasing which means that unless you are a highly experienced and sophisticated buyer with a track record in software selection in this space, your chances of making a poor selection are high.</p>

<li>Be very clear on what your specific needs are, including developing your strategy for enterprise governance.</li>
<li>Determine whether you require a generalised or niche solution</li>
