Selecting the right mix of software to enhance a business process is critical to corporate success. In this, organizations spend much time debating some of the requirements that they require to achieve their desired growth target. Much so others are constantly repeating errors that have become routine in their selection strategy.

By definition, a software selection project involves four main phases viz:

§         Need Identification

§         Requirements Analysis

§         Business Case Development

§         Vendor Selection

The trend has been that organizations due to cost constraints are bedeviled with a straight-move attitude that makes them encounter severe errors during implementation and Go-Live. Some requirements are either not well documents or undervalued while others are mistakenly included as essential though they are just desirable ones.

Following the principles and guidelines set at B.i.G consulting, organization can be certain that any vendor’s product that is elected as one meeting their desired need will for sure deliver the expected benefits. A software selection project should be accomplished with the right mix of stakeholders present to appraise each vendor that present a demo.  During a demo, there are certain issues that need to be addressed by individual vendor according to the requirements detailed in the business case. This could be complex but its worth the pain if the desired benefits are to be realized.

B.i.G Consulting assist organizations with this - working as external consultants.
