+#### Ask us
+
+Please feel free to [reach out to our support department](https://contact.ayanova.com/contact) who are available to answer any questions you might have about AyaNova during your evaluation process.
+
+These are the same people who will provide you with technical support should you need it while using AyaNova.
+
+#### Try it out
+
+If you've reached this point and AyaNova still looks promising it's time to [try AyaNova out for real](ay-evaluate.md).
+
+No one purchase AyaNova without a thorough try first and we will provide anything you need to ensure as close to a real world test of AyaNova as possible.
+
+Everything you need to try all features of AyaNova at no cost as a Subscription or self installed Perpetual version can be found via our "[Try AyaNova now](ay-evaluate.md)" page.
+
+That page will walk you through the initial evaluation process which consists of installing AyaNova or getting a trial susbscription account, generating sample data and then experimenting with AyaNova to see how it works in practice and how it might fit into your service process.
+
+Once you have access to AyaNova and some sample data generated to play with we recommend a structured evaluation process to save time:
+
+1. Get an idea about how the forms work in AyaNova with our [forms overview](ay-start-form-overview.md)
+2. Take some [guided tours](tour-intro.md) to get your feet we; a good place to start is the [Create a Customer guided tour](tour-service-create-customer.md)
+3. Work orders are the heart of AyaNova so the [Create a work order guided tour](tour-service-wo.md) is a good next step
+4. Try out any particular feature that is important for your business. Each AyaNova form has a Help link in the menu that will take you to a help page for that form
+5. Get other staff members feedback. Once you have a fairly good idea where things are and how they work it's time to get other staff trying out AyaNova, make User accounts for all staff in each department who will be using AyaNova and have them try out the features that they would be working with day to day.
+
+    For example have the service techs try making work orders, entering labour and scheduling themselves. Have the Inventory staff try out the purchase orders and entering Parts etc. Sales staff should try out the Quoting system. All administrators or department heads should try out the dashboard and set up some business metrics that relate to their departments.
+
+    Get feedback from all users and if any questions arise that aren't covered in the manual please do not hesitate to [contact our support department](https://contact.ayanova.com/contact) as always.
+
+    It's important that all Users have a chance to try AyaNova and give their feedback and ensure their questions and concerns are answered before moving on, allow plenty of time for this process.
+
+6. Customization - it's about this time that questions around Customization come up. AyaNova is highly customizable in many areas and it isn't unsual to make some tweaks to more closely align AyaNova with a particular business or industry.
+
+    We have several guided tours in the Business admin section about customization including [adding custom fields to forms](tour-bizadmin-form-custom-fields.md), [hiding un-needed form fields](tour-bizadmin-form-remove-fields.md), [changing the displayed text](tour-bizadmin-form-custom-translation.md) and more.
+
+    In addition all the reports in AyaNova can be customized or new ones created using the built in [report template editor](ay-report-edit.md).
+
+7. Importing exsting data - often a company starting out with AyaNova will want to import existing data to save time. If this is something you may need to do, AyaNova has a built in [import feature](adm-import.md) which enables you to import data from text files which you should definitely try out with real data as part of your evaluation process.
+
+    If you use QuickBooks desktop edition you can import data directly from QuickBooks using our QBI QuickBooks integration utility.
+    If you are using an older version of AyaNova we have a [migration utility](ay-biz-admin-migrate-v7.md) that will import legacy AyaNova data to this latest version.
