Enterprise Software Selection
When it comes to deciding on the right enterprise software selection for your business there are a considerable range of factors to consider.
The matrix for enterprise software selection is extensive and very specific to every organisation. The use of templates, even industry specific templates, can be helpful but more often than not template applications pass over the unique and often proprietary knowledge drivers of a business.
Sapience Advisory prioritizes a robust foundation for enterprise software selection by initiating the process with a comprehensive Business Requirements Inventory. Developed in close collaboration with all stakeholders, we leverage our deep project delivery experience to meticulously document current processes, identify pain points, define future needs and importantly provide an opportunistic review of both possible productivity efficiencies and unrealized business growth opportunities. This detailed analysis not only clarifies the scope of the digital initiative but also forms the basis of a compelling business case, justifying the investment and guiding the selection of the most effective enterprise applications.
When prepared with experience and understanding of how projects run, this initial Business Requirements Inventory document will become a strong point of reference for a the raising of a comprehensive Solution Design document once the enterprise application is selected. The overall total project cost savings to the organisation in this approach and methodology can be significant.
Sapience Advisory will add value to your enterprise software selection process by referencing and analysing at least the following criteria, with high input of knowledge base experience that delivers executive certainty:
- Core application native functional footprint
- Application architecture, development platform and opportunity for enterprise specific productivity enhancements
- Availability, range and mobility of application implementation service providers (partner based or application vendor only)
- Solution technology stack with reference to scalability, ease of integration, security, and application extensions
- Vendor reputation, stability, support and commitment to innovation
- Comparative Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Return on Investment (ROI) alignment with business case initiatives
Our expertise will ensure that first steps in business transformation are on solid ground.
