Tips on selecting the right technology solution for your business


With multiple departments, user needs and processes to consider, here are our top tips that business leaders should consider in picking the right solution for their business as a whole

  1. Map out your business needs
This provides a good and clear starting point. What are your business goals, budget and resource constraints? Talk to your team managers, stakeholders and clients to gain an understanding of their pain points and gather any new work improvements that they wish to have.
 
  1. Keep users at the heart of your decision
Listen to understand what they need and want. Focus on solving problems and enhancing daily workflows. Prioritise user-centric features that improve efficiency, ease of use, and overall experience. The more the solution addresses their needs, the faster the adoption and the greater the success.
 
  1. Document your requirements
To help streamline your evaluation process, you can use a request for information (RFI), a request for quote (RFQ), and a request for proposal (RFP). This enables you to gather information through a formal process and compare it with other responses. With these requirements clearly listed out, it is easier for you to find out whether the vendor is capable if meeting your procurement needs or not.
