Technology and Vendor Selection
Technology and vendor selection: from needs analysis to contract
We turn your business and technical needs into selection criteria and compare technology and vendor options against the same scenarios and evidence. We work on your side from a well-reasoned selection through to clarifying the contract scope.

02 / Scope
Which criteria do we use to compare options?
Technology selection addresses which solution fits your needs; vendor selection addresses who will implement or operate the chosen solution, with what scope and on what terms. We can work on the two decisions together or separately.
| Criteria group | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Fit with business needs | Priority processes, mandatory requirements, real business scenarios |
| Technical and operational fit | Current architecture, data, integration, security and operating conditions |
| Implementation and adoption | Methodology, team/role structure, training and user support, handover |
| Commercial scope and responsibility | License/service scope, assumptions, exclusions, cost items and acceptance terms |
We agree on mandatory criteria and evaluation priorities with business units, IT and the relevant procurement roles at the start.
03 / How we work
Step by step
1
Step 1 / 4
Needs and criteria
We clarify priority business scenarios, mandatory requirements, evaluation criteria and decision roles.
2
Step 2 / 4
Shortlist and proposal framework
We prepare a shortlist that fits the scope and a common proposal/response structure. If needed, we draft the RFP.
3
Step 3 / 4
Evidence-based comparison
We compare demos, proposals and team assessments based on the same scenarios. We show verified, missing and assumed points separately.
4
Step 4 / 4
Decision and contract preparation
We present the recommendation with its rationale and open risks, and help carry the chosen scope, responsibilities and acceptance terms into contract preparation.
If scoring is used, criteria and weights are agreed in advance. An unmet mandatory requirement is not hidden inside a high total score. A demo claim or vendor statement is not given the same status as a verified capability.
04 / Deliverables and business value
What do you get?
✓Priority requirements and an agreed evaluation framework.
✓Depending on scope, a shortlist, RFP/proposal documents and scenarios.
✓A comparison matrix covering proposals, evidence, assumptions and open points.
✓A reasoned recommendation and the risks presented for the client's decision.
✓Scope, responsibility and acceptance clauses to carry into contract preparation and implementation kickoff.
Value
The selection rests on your needs and comparable criteria, not on a sales pitch.
Comparison structureExample
| Shared criterion | Option A | Option B | Needed before deciding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority approval scenario | Shown in demo | Stated in proposal | Validating the same scenario in B |
| Integration scope | Included in proposal | Separate scope | Making boundaries and costs comparable |
| Training and handover | Scope defined | Details pending | Clarifying content, roles and acceptance terms |
Example comparison structure. The final selection, budget and purchase approval rest with the authorized roles in your organization.
05 / Why akademiDX?
We make visible not just the price of two proposals, but which work is covered, with what evidence and responsibility.
We bring the scope, dependency and acceptance issues seen in program management into the selection criteria. We disclose our Whatfix partnership in relevant selections. The final selection and purchase approval stay with your organization.
