Solution and Vendor Selection

PLA helps reduce costs and increase value by structuring the solution/vendor selection and management process to support informed decisions. We work with you to define your business needs, and then translate that information into system requirements using a structured format that facilitates quantitatively and qualitatively measuring and differentiating prospective vendors and their solutions. We also assist in negotiating contracts and identifying standards to ensure that the selected vendors deliver the expected solutions. PLA can guide In-source/Outsource decisions using rating/ranking analysis, requirements definition and implementation plans.

To help guide your next vendor engagement or solution decision, PLA consultants can:

• Develop structured vendor selection plans
• Effectively utilize RFIs, RFPs, rating and ranking selection criteria, and requirements matrices
• Apply vendor evaluation toolsets
• Provide independent and objective vendor evaluations
• Conduct contract negotiations
• Manage implementations
