        Buyers Guide Services - Software Providers

        Assessing and Evaluating Software Providers and Products

        Enterprises are challenged with finding authoritative information about software providers they can rely on to help shape decisions on existing and future software products. Access to an in-depth analysis based on reliable and objective research is essential to an organization’s success. Software providers that embrace and use authoritative research will benefit from its credibility and recognition that could negatively impact the total cost of ownership and return on their investment.

        About the Methodology

The guide is designed to help influence the market and support decisions with an RFI/RFP approach. The carefully crafted, best practice-based methodology called the Value Index draws on our independent research to provide software provider and product ratings and rankings. The Buyers Guide is a tool that assists enterprises in assessing software providers and helps them avoid making an unwise decision that could negatively impact the total cost of ownership and return on their investment.
