Pain is Inevitable
Managing a serious selection & evaluation project is always demanding:
- Understand your own organization - collating and prioritizing requirement from stakeholders
- Understanding the industry - knowing what questions to ask vendors
- Interpreting vendors's proposals
Suffering is a Choice
Then there are the administrative challenges:
- Pulling together questions from previous projects
- Keeping stakeholders informed about the process
- Communicating with respondents - especially in regulated environments
- Fighting with spreadsheets and emails to collate and score responses
- Demonstrating impartiality and maintaining a transparent audit trail
