If your systems no longer support your business, enable efficient growth, or allow your business to make timely operational decisions, it’s crucial to find new systems that will support the business now and for the future. Selecting a system can be an overwhelming experience with all the options available in the market.

Understanding your requirements, assessing options, navigating the systems market and vendors, and making decisions to be confident your systems support future objectives—and can respond to unexpected events—can drain significant time and resources.

Define your requirements effectively and select the right product for the unique needs and nuances of your business with our professionals providing support and customized ranking assessments to help guide your decision.

Drive Long-Term Growth with Strategic Assessments

Developing a deep understanding of your organizational needs, our professionals take a future-focused approach to strategically align technology around your overall business goals and vision—positioning systems to increase value rather than requiring your organization work within their potential limitations.

Through extensive discussions, interviews, and review of your business, we identify and catalog requirements your system will need to address current and future needs.

We use a four-stage methodology to efficiently guide you through the process and focus on appropriate decisions for your business. Each system assessment stage includes targeted activities to provide insight that helps inform your technology decisions.

Four-Stage Process

To streamline decision-making and evaluate selections based on your outlined needs, we provide scorecard reports that rank and score the various systems being evaluated in key areas—so you’re provided quantitative data that helps visualize outcomes.

Scorecards help determine if vendors’ standard features can support your needs or will require configuration, third-party support, custom programming, and more.

Scorecard Examples

Additionally, scorecards can rank options outlining security and compliance needs and combine vendor options to determine if dual-system integration would also serve as a strategic decision. Red flag reports will also itemize requirements vendors don’t support.

Intermediary Support to Prevent Vendor Distractions

To avoid draining your time with the various burdensome, sales-driven pursuits often made during system vendors interactions, our professionals serve as an intermediary between your business and the vendor—allowing you to focus on current business needs and value-add activities.

Once you’re ready for vendor demonstrations, our professionals develop demonstration agendas to ensure vendors exhibit abilities in requested areas and don’t exceed requests or infringe on your time with extraneous attempts to secure your business.

Decision Support and Risk Mitigation

Our project approach is guided by a comprehensive framework, tailored to your unique circumstances, that structures the system selection and acquisition process to deliver critical decision support at each stage—so you can make a rational, strategy-driven, operationally-minded, and risk-aware decision.

Risk level decreases proportionally with the increased level of support provided around your decisions.

Expansive Technology and Industry Experience

Deeply immersed in more than 30 industries, our professionals provide technology solutions specific to the nuances, challenges, and operations of the sector in which you operate.

We provide end-to-end assistance, from implementation to ongoing maintenance and enhancements so you feel confident and supported throughout the engagement and beyond.
