The document discusses different types of balanced scorecard software. It notes that while Excel is easy to use, it is not suitable for growing or updating scorecards. ERP systems focus on financials and have limited scorecard capabilities. Dedicated scorecard software is best but varies - some focus on processes rather than the balanced scorecard. The document provides a checklist for choosing software, including whether it supports key performance indicators, strategy maps, and cascading scorecards across business units. It recommends trying BSC Designer software which has free and full-featured trial versions.
