Software Selection – Insightful Data-Driven Approach
#3: Insightful Data-Driven CTRM Vendor Selection Approach Facilitates Run-Operate Success If you have read the first installment of our blog series on CTRM software selection,
As markets shift, risks increase, and strategies evolve, your CTRM/ETRM software needs become more specific, comprehensive, and nuanced. The time may be right for upgrading your system so you do not expose your company to undue risk or leave money on the table. To keep costs manageable, you may be tempted to perform your own CTRM/ETRM vendor selection process in-house. This may be a viable option, but you should understand the “hidden costs” of In-House vendor evaluation.
While the benefits of selecting a solution in-house may seem compelling, if handled improperly, they can backfire:
Many companies, however, find they cannot spare the resources or simply do not have a proven approach for conducting vendor evaluations in-house. Engaging a consultant with “frontline-proven” experience and approach facilitates the process, proactively uncovers pitfalls, and saves you money by setting your team up for deriving long-term value.
