In general you can expect the report to save you at least 10 days work in the selection process.

1. We have validated the answers

Vendors were asked to demonstrate the product features in an environment with live data. PowerPoints were not accepted, and to leave no doubts, we validate all the answers by comparing it to the manuals and usage experiences from the developer community.

2. Find out the vendor’s ‘secrets’

Vendors will often tell you only the strengths of their product(s). In our survey, all the features are revealed, also the weak points.

3. Negotiate better with vendors

Using the survey, you will be in a better position to negotiate with the vendor to get better pricing and conditions for the product. The vendor comparison is made based on seven categories and 90 criteria.
