Product & Vendor Evaluation & Selection

(ERP | CRM | SCM | HCM | Analytics | Digital Cloud)

Introduction

Selecting the right Enterprise Application is one of the most critical and high-stakes decisions an organisation can make. A wrong product or vendor choice can result in wasted investments, extended timelines, user resistance, and even project failure.

We deliver a structured and independent evaluation & selection service that ensures your chosen product and implementation partner are aligned with your business goals, industry requirements, and long-term growth strategy. Our proven framework minimises risks and maximises the success of enterprise application investments.

Why Product & Vendor Selection Matters

Enterprise applications are mission-critical platforms that:

Careful evaluation and vendor selection accelerates implementation, smooths adoption, reduces risks, and ensures sustainable ROI.

Common Challenges

  • Hundreds of vendors and integrators, from legacy systems to niche branded solutions.
  • Feature overlaps that confuse decision-making.
  • Vendors pushing force-fit solutions into industries they do not fully understand.
  • Over-investing in non-essential features.
  • Underestimating long-term Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
  • Selecting vendors who lack implementation expertise.
  • Product Evaluation: Functionality fitment (ERP, CRM, SCM, HCM, Analytics), Technology fitment (UI, security, scalability, deployment, integrations, multi-device access), and roadmap alignment (version upgrades, add-ons).
  • Implementation Vendor Evaluation: Domain expertise, consultant quality & implementation approach, vendor vision, and cultural alignment.
  • Track Record & References: Industry templates, customer references, and proven delivery history.
  • Contract Management & TCO: Goals, scope, deliverables, SLAs, with full visibility of initial costs (licenses, services, infrastructure, consulting) and recurring costs (renewals, upgrades, support, vendor services, contingencies).
