Information about “UDECIDE”
We all know the best way to make tough decisions is to make a list of
options, assign relative values to them, and choose the option with the
highest score. But how many of us really do that? That was before
UDECIDE!
UDECIDE helps you make tough decisions - for example, which database
program to purchase. The options could be PC-File, File Express, and
Wampum. When looking at the different programs (purchase options), you
would develop categories of comparison like: power, flexibility, ease
of use, and dBase compatibility. You would then assign number values to
their relative importance of each category. Now evaluate each program
and determine how they score in each category. Some would be easier to
use and others more powerful, etc.
By entering the importance you associate with each rating category and
how each program is rated in that category, UDECIDE determines a
weighted average score for each program. The program with the highest
score is the best one for your needs. You can then either print out the
complete analysis or change the ratings and perform a "what-if"
analysis. Use UDECIDE to decide which project to pursue, which college
to select, which stocks to buy, or just about anything. It can't make
the actual decision, but it can help you think it through more clearly!
