I was recently ran into someone who's job title was "Software Consultant". "Why would someone need a software consultant?" I asked, "Doesn't that normally fall on the IT department?".

The following list gives a few reasons why a Software Consultant may help a company make better software decisions:
The group this individual works for, starts their process by performing a very detailed analysis of expectations expected from the software.

With this information they objectively analyze software options available in the marketplace. This list along with the reasons for their inclusion are presented to a steering committee. They schedule demo's of each software and help with the evaluation process. They will then help facilitate the decision process.
This discussion was enlightening for me. Our company is vendor neutral and do not suggest mortgage software solutions. In most cases, our prospects/clients have usually already decided what mortgage software they will be using. If they are still looking, I can suggest barriers they may be hitting and provide tactics that will help them make a more informed decision.
