Attorney Kate Sandberg needed to upgrade the basic office software (such as MS Office) for her small firm. She asked her paralegal, Mary Worth, to research and purchase a new suite of office applications for their existing computer hardware. Most of the computers in the office were at least 4 years old. What information about the computers should Mary carefully review? What factors are most

important to consider when selecting the software?

What will be an ideal response?


Mary should look at the minimum and recommended requirements of the software. The minimum requirements are the minimum memory, speed, and other characteristics necessary for software to run properly. If the systems in the office do not meet these minimum requirements, the software will run much more slowly than expected, or not at all. She should also look at the recommended requirements, which are necessary for the maximum utilization of the software. There may be no point in upgrading if the computers are not powerful enough to take advantage of the upgrades in the software.
