  • Use a weighting criteria to separate the "nice-to-have" requirements from the "must have"
  • Limit the number of vendors that will review your requirements - 5 to 6
  • Develop the software demo scenarios to match what is critical to the business, control what is being shown
  • Establish a format for the RFP/RFQ - how will the vendor respond
  • Establish a scoring criteria for assessing the software capability to the company's requirements and get team consensus about the software and vendor
  • Evaluate software price, capability, reputation, and functionality
  • Seek assistance with the process from outside resources if the core competencies don't exist within the company
  • Don't relinquish control of the project to outside resources
  • Educate, educate, educate, and then more education - both system and conceptual
