VendorSelect
Choosing an implementation or software vendor is often a daunting process. Key players in your company are distracted as they gather candidate lists, cobble together documentation and review sales literature. Vendor presentations are slick and show each candidate in the best possible light, but nagging questions about how the product or service will perform after the sales “honeymoon” is over create uncertainty. How do you see through the sales pitch and determine which vendor can support your objectives and deliver successfully at the right cost and within an appropriate timeframe?
Prevoyance Group’s VendorSelect process helps your organization streamline the selection of hardware, software and implementation partners, saving time and money and most importantly, ensuring you find the appropriate vendor for your organization. As a fully independent party, we ensure the entire vendor selection process is tailored to your best interests, from reducing internal efforts generating proposals and short listing potential partners, to providing unbiased feedback on which vendor is right for your company. Working with Prevoyance Group will:
- Provide a defined process for all aspects of vendor selection, saving your company time and money associated with crafting RFPs and responding to vendor inquiries
- Reduce the time of the proposal process
- Clearly define objectives and measures for selecting a vendor, and frame all interactions around YOUR objectives, rather than getting caught up in sales pitches or flashy demonstrations
- Provide a scoring method that ensures that a vendor is selected based on your company’s objectives rather than emotion
- Analyze each financial proposal to make sure it is realistic and provides appropriate results-based incentives
- Give your organization an unbiased third party opinion, which always has your best interests at heart. With Prevoyance Group’s industry experience, we know the vendors, the sales tricks and the common stumbling blocks faced by organizations as they choose IT partners
Working together, we will define a process that includes evaluating current IT partners, all the way to signing a partner for a new project or to replace a poorly performing vendor. As we do not sell hardware, software or IT implementation services, your interests are the driver for everything we do.
