Accounting Comparison - Evaluation - Accounting Selection

Accounting RFP with Evaluation Toolkit - (4,254 Criteria, Updated August, 2011)

This Excel-based RFP Master enables you to quickly prepare and electronically distribute a Request for Proposal (RFP) for networked, accounting capabilities. Going one step further, each RFP Master also comes packaged with an Evaluation spreadsheet enabling you to quantitatively evaluate vendor proposals to accurately select the best accounting system suited to your firm's needs. The screens shown below show how comprehensive and in-depth an RFP Master set is.

Much more than simply a list of accounting questions, each RFP Master contains a comprehensive electronic Request for Proposal (RFP) PLUS powerful vendor RFP response (proposal) evaluation tools, all in familiar Excel spreadsheet format. Each simplifies and streamlines the many complex tasks required to not only prepare and distribute an RFP electronically, but also to evaluate the vendor responses to that RFP! Enjoy the benefits of: (Click thumbnails to enlarge) This RFP also includes questions on cloud computing and voice technology.

IDENTIFY Feature AVAILABILITY & DELIVERABILITY. Unlike other RFPs, Infotivity RFP Masters automatically collect the information needed to identify BOTH the AVAILABILITY of software features, and their DELIVERABILITY, i.e., HOW those features will be delivered. Each RFP Master includes a Feature Support Matrix^™ (FSM) to automatically capture this information, which can be used to create very accurate and reliable accounting system implementation schedules. View samples here.

Determine RISK and SUPPORTABILITY. RFP Masters automatically evaluate vendor response data collected to quantitatively determine the SUPPORTABILITY INDEX^™ of each proposed software system. This index ranks the potential support problems inherent in each proposal. Accurately compare the amount of ongoing support needed to keep each proposed accounting system up and running. Measure the true impact of each system on your business over the long term. View sample here.

A Detailed & Comprehensive List of:

Accounting System Features
Pre-defined accounting RFP criteria ensure no important business requirements or software features "slip through the cracks". All are in a quantitative format that guarantees vendor responses will be meaningful, consistent, and easy to compare. All questions are professionally prepared by application specialists to address BOTH the STANDARD features and EXCEPTION CASE software functions required.

Identify BOTH accounting Software Features Availability and Deliverability

Unlike other RFPs that try (and fail) to gather useful solutions data about complex accounting system features, RFP Masters are not constrained to the use of summary-level "Yes" or "No" answers. This RFP Master^™ uses a Feature Support Matrix^™ (FSM) that identify BOTH feature AVAILABILITY and DELIVERY Method. This RFP Master function is useful during both the accounting software selection AND the system implementation phases of large projects because it enables effective Earned Value Management through detailed cross-referencing of usable software functionality and vendor invoicing.

Determine the Risk & Supportability of Proposed

Accounting Software Solutions
Unlike other RFPs, an RFP Master can illustrate potential support problems (and risk) inherent in vendor software proposals. The Feature Support Matrix^™ (FSM) used in each RFP Master^™ categorizes the inherent risk posed for each criteria, and uses that information to calculate the SUPPORTABILITY INDEX^™ for each vendor RFP response. For sample, a feature delivered "out of the box" FULLY SUPPORTED is less risky than one delivered through custom programming, even if the programming is free. This RFP Master function is useful during both the accounting selection AND the implementation phases of a large accounting system because it enables effective Earned Value Management through detailed cross-referencing of usable software functionality and vendor invoicing.

Weighted Grade Score Graph

Compares the Weighted Grade Point Score calculated for each proposed system. This is calculated as follows: The vendor response to each RFP question is assigned an unweighted "raw" score. This raw score is then multiplied by the weight factor you entered previously (default = 1) for that RFP question to calculate the weighted score for each response. All of these individual scores are then totaled for use in this comparison. This score is essentially a measure of how well a accounting software system fits your business and software needs, prioritized by the weight (importance level) you assigned to each question in the RFP. In essence, this score measures the SUITABILITY of each proposed software system to your overall requirements. . NOTE this score measures just software functionality, and does not include any measure of vendor background, expertise, support, or programming ability.

Color-Coded, "Apples-to-Apples" Comparison of Proposed Systems

Accounting Comparison
These accounting comparison matrices automatically change vendor response cell background color to GREEN, YELLOW, or RED, to reflect how favorable each response is to your needs! Compared to the tedious task of reviewing thousands of mono-color Yes/No answers, these colored responses allow problem areas to be spotted more easily, and risk assessment is made much more accurate. All required accounting comparison matrices are included and ready-to-use! Quickly and easily compare accounting system proposals side-by-side, feature by feature, in detailed comparisons you control! Keep your project on-schedule and under-budget.

Evaluation Ratios

The Screen below describes all of the Accounting Vendor RFP Response evaluation ratios automatically calculated in our software RFP Masters:

Workflow Topics Included.

The ability of the proposed system to successfully integrate with existng business process workflows, or implement new workflows, is critical to a achieving the high productivity increases and ROI expected of the new accounting system. This RFP Master examines all pertinent Workflow features in detail.

Vendor Response Input Validation.

Vendors must answer each accounting RFP question by choosing from a pre-defined list of possible responses. See below for an sample of this drop-down list. This forces all vendors to respond to each accounting software question in a consistent, standard manner. Eliminates the days of time typically wasted trying to compare the inconsistent or incomplete vendor responses obtained by using traditional, non-quantitative RFP questions! Ensures vendor proposals are easy to compare and evaluate!
