Wereyou sold too much, not enough or the wrong thing, the last time you purchase a software application?
Hasyet another technology product been acquired by a new provider, leaving you with support concerns?

An important component of any technology evaluation or selection process is the review of the technology vendor.

When you purchase technology, in addition to its features and functions of the product or service, you are also buying the vendor's business process, their development and support methods and capabilities. It is an investment in a long-term relationship to ensure that you receive the necessary support, enhancements and new features required to support your business.

A vendor review is an in-depth look at a potential vendor, their business, their software functionality and design and their capability to implement and support their product.

The best time to conduct a vendor review is during the evaluation process, before a final vendor, selection has been made and negotiations are complete.
