Software selection

How to make the right choice?

The success of the project depends largely on the right choice of solution and supplier. Therefore, the selection process must be carried out carefully and at the same time be efficient and effective.

For you, a selection is not a daily activity, but you have every interest in making the right choice. With our independent position, knowledge of the market, and experience, we strengthen your selection team.

“We mapped out the desired application landscape with Greywise and Greywise supports us in selecting and implementing the applications.”

What can we see in practice

The company itself has drawn up the requirements
Often based on existing working methods, without knowledge of the possibilities of modern applications and with a scope that no standard package can satisfy.
The shortlist is far too wide
As a result, a lot of time and energy is lost in presentations, workshops, and coordination.
Suitable applications are missing from the shortlist
As a result, well-fitting and affordable solutions are not included.
Strongly focused on content
As a result, too little attention is paid to decision-making and acceptance. The selection process takes a long time and the chance that the project will not be a success is high.

Success factors of software selection

A good scope that takes into account the possibilities of standard packages and is based on an application architecture.
The wishes and requirements have been formulated in such a way that the suppliers get a good idea of the desired situation, need to calculate little risk and are able to make keen offers.
The selection process must be transparent and supported. There is a selection team that reports to the steering committee at key milestones.
Not only are the capabilities of the package considered, but also the (future) relationship with the supplier, the number of applications at comparable companies, the project approach and the costs.
The choice of principle is further confirmed by a "proof of concept" and one or more reference visits.
