The system selection process - Overview

System selection online employs a world class methodology to deliver system selection, incorporating 8 phases. The client section incorporates this detailed methodology and numerous tools, templates and documents to support the system selection effort.

Following a methodology or process is key in any project, especially in the current business environment, which is focused on risk and governance.

Business requirements

Getting your business requirements right involves identifying relevant processes, prioritising these processes and developing business requirements wither through process mapping or documenting needs.

Vendor shortlist

Identifying appropriate vendors and qualifying those that are appropriate to your organization and industry.

RFP (Request for proposal)

Developing the appropriate approach or RFP to vendors for the supply of the system in line with the business requirements developed.

Negotiate

By knowing when and what to negotiate, you can get real value in the process. Ensuring the consulting services you are buying are appropriate to meet your requirements and that you maximise any potential discount on the rest.
