software and technology vendor selection
One of the times that a company without experienced IT leadership needs the most assistance is in making critical decisions about investments in software and technology. This service applies our depth of experience in IT vendor assessment and management to help companies with the very challenging task of selecting new software or other technology solutions for their business. Visular's Software and Technology Vendor Selection service fits perfectly with our approach to deliver value quickly for clients and work ourselves out of a job as we can bring our skills to bear in navigating this sometimes daunting process and translate all the efforts into clear, simple, easy to understand options and decision points.
The problem: When it comes to choosing a new software or technology vendor, you want to feel confident that the selection you make will pay off with positive results for your organization. However, with users clamoring for new systems; tech sales people overwhelming you with demos, features and jargon; and your desire to make certain you have considered all of the feasible options for your company, it's not wonder that the process can easily become overwhelming. A rash or ill-informed decision could lead to problems down the road -- up-charges, additional customization costs, the need to change course after money is spent or choosing a company who cannot adequately support you as you grow can all lead to time and money lost to your organization.
The opportunity: Our team has helped clients time and again with a proven track record of software selection, vendor negotiation and successful implementations. We can save you time and money while helping you make the best decision for your business and assure you will avoid the risk of investing in the wrong solutions. By being completely vendor independent, we can be both objective in our analysis and an effective filter between companies motivated to win the sale at any cost and our clients who want to make the best decision for their unique business needs.
The result: From initial discussions and an executive overview, our team will determine the project scope, goals and objectives. We will research the marketplace for appropriate vendors and identify a short list for additional discussions and demos; prepare our recommendations and proposals; negotiate with the top choices; and transition knowledge to an implementation team of client and vendor representatives.
