Software Selection

We start the process with a Long List of possible solutions, based on market analysis, our experience, and input from your organisation. It’s also common that you might already be using a software package and want to know if it’s still suitable for the future. In that case, we include it as one of the alternatives.

To get a better understanding of which selection criteria matter most, we conduct interviews with stakeholders and organise a workshop to make joint decisions. What are the real ‘knock-out’ criteria? If a solution or supplier doesn’t meet those, it’s excluded from the selection process as soon as possible. This leaves us with a shortlist of software packages that do meet your requirements.

We issue a quotation request to this shortlist. We ask them for a Request for Proposal, in which the supplier responds to specific questions about the software. This way, we gather evidence of relevant and specific functionalities. Often, one or two suitable candidates remain. 

We can then also carry out a Proof-of-Concept: a trial run of the software within your organisation. Through a use case, it’s demonstrated how exactly the software will work in your organisation’s environment and with your company’s data.

Now, you’re ready to make a solid decision. Of course, we are also available to guide the implementation phase.
