Solution selection

Finding the right software solution can be a difficult and time-consuming process.  The challenge of identifying a solution which provides the right functionality is compounded by the choice of PC-based, server, hosted, on-demand and hybrid delivery options. In addition, calculating the true Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) can be a major exercise.  Many software companies are reluctant to publish prices, and discounts can usually be negotiated.

 

Yeoman Solutions can help you put the pieces together by:

  • helping you to draw up a clear list of features and functions required and desired
  • determining a realistic budget
  • deciding on the most appropriate method of delivery e.g. buy software and host on existing hardware, buy new hardware as well, but software and host externally, or utilise a fully outsourced 'on demand' or 'software as a service' solution
  • identifying a shortlist of potential solutions and conducting preliminary evaluations
  • organising demonstrations and ensuring that the required features are provided
  • scrutinising arrangements for support, helpline and Service Level Agreements
  • negotiating pricing

We can also provide experienced Project Management resource to assist with implementation, training and data migration.
