| Evaluating
new software systems can be a daunting task. The
SIS Rapid Business Operations Review (RBOR) is designed to
streamline the evaluation process to ensure that each
organization selects the right software and the right business
partner. RBOR reduces unnecessary steps and costs that can
overwhelm valuable resources within any organization.
In the simplest sense, our RBOR is a series of steps – conducted
by SIS in conjunction with a customer’s organization – to
systematically determine critical business requirements as they
relate to new software systems. These requirements are then
translated into selection criteria which are used to evaluate
competing systems and implementation partners.
The RBOR is comprised of the following four-step process: |
||
 |
Operational
Review – Identifies key business processes and
performance measures to determine if our solutions will
support a customer’s objectives, and what impact these new
solutions will have on the organization |
|
|
Selection
Criteria Definition – A collaborative effort to
develop key software selection criteria to aid both the
vendor(s) and the customer during the evaluation process |
|
|
Scripted
Demo – An interactive presentation to showcase the
identified mission-critical processes and to demonstrate how
the proposed solution meets the key software selection
criteria |
|
|
Implementation
Planning – Identifies the vendor’s project
team and creates a high-level implementation plan, providing
a clear understanding of the costs and steps involved in
implementation. The resulting framework enables customers
to evaluate all software vendors and competitors against five
critical decision criteria: |
|
 |
Software Functionality |
|
|
Impact on Organization |
|
|
Company Expertise and Stability |
|
|
Technology |
|
|
Implementation Methodology |
|
| By using a systematic approach to reviewing new software solutions, our customers can expect to make the best choice in new technology solutions, to meet the needs of their organization today and into the future. | ||
