The challenge of choosing the right vendor partners is formidable for larger companies, but for small and medium size businesses, it's a decision that can literally make or break them. That's because some vendors understand the needs of small and medium size businesses better than others, and it's hard for a smaller company to cut through the lip service and see who really has their best interests at heart.
