Sample Screens & Questions |
This comprehensive RFP Master for Accounting & Business Management (Accounting) software provides benefits that go far beyond those of traditional RFPs. Specialized for use in complex Accounting application environments, this RFP Master provides much more than a detailed list of Accounting software requirements.
Actual screens and questions from this RFP are shown below to illustrate how it enables you to easily collect the unique metrics needed to successfully identify, acquire, and implement the accounting software best suited to your organization's needs.
ELIMINATING WASTED TIME - SAVE TIME by using thousands of pre-defined criteria to communicate your Accounting software requirements. And SAVE EVEN MORE TIME when evaluating and comparing vendor responses (proposals). View typical RFP questions.
ACCURATELY DETERMINE RISK & SUPPORTABILITY using a Feature Support Matrix™ (FSM) to collect the data required from each proposal. An FSM identifies not only which functions are available, but HOW they will be delivered. View sample here.
"APPLES-to-APPLES" COMPARISON of vendor RFP responses (proposals) is assured by extensive use of single attribute oriented RFP questions and full vendor response validation. Enjoy detailed comparisons, and more accurate scoring, with far less work. Keep you project on-schedule and under-budget. View typical Comparison here.
AUTOMATED WEIGHTED GRADE POINT SCORING quantitatively identifies how well SUITED each proposed system is to your firm's accounting requirements, in detail or 3-D Bar Chart form. View sample 3-D Bar Chart comparison here.
WORKFLOW TOPICS ensure the proposed software can be fully integrated and utilized to enhance your organization's business procedures. View Workflow samples here.
VENDOR RESPONSE VALIDATION saves time and effort, and reduces errors, when evaluating vendor responses. View typical Comparison here.
EASILY CUSTOMIZED to meet your unique needs, using basic Excel techniques.
PROVEN MS EXCEL TECHNOLOGY. Everybody already knows Excel. Save time & effort across the board! No installation, no learning curve.
Save Weeks, even Months, of Time.
Hundreds of pre-loaded RFP questions ensure no important requirements "slip through the cracks". All questions are in a quantitative format that ensures all vendor responses will be concise and easy to compare. Eliminate the time typically wasted trying to compare inconsistent or incomplete vendor responses. All questions are professionally prepared by application specialists to address BOTH the STANDARD features and EXCEPTION CASE software functions required.
Much More than Just a Features List
Obtain vendor responses that are more useful than simplistic "Yes" or "No" answers. All RFP Masters use a Feature Support Matrix (FSM) that identifies feature SUPPORTABILITY, i.e., AVAILABILITY and DELIVERY Method, and the inherent RISK. For example, a feature delivered "out of the box" is less risky than one delivered through custom programming, even if the programming is free. This RFP Master function is useful during both the software selection AND the implementation phases of a large software system because it enables effective Earned Value Management through detailed cross-referencing of usable software functionality and vendor invoicing.
Vendor Response Input Validation.
Vendors must answer each RFP question by choosing from a pre-defined list of possible responses. See line #432 below for an example of this drop-down list. This forces all vendors to respond 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!
Customizable Weighted Scoring.
Automatically generate a weighted grade point "Suitability" score, based on your actual priorities, that ranks how well suited each proposed Accounting system is to your organization's needs. You can then compare Suitability scores in detail or in 3-D Bar Chart form, as shown below.
Accurate "Apples-to-Apples" Comparison Ensured.
All required response comparison matrices are included and ready-to-use! Quickly & Easily compare Accounting software proposals side-by-side, feature by feature, in detailed comparisons you control!
Workflow Topics Included.
The proposed software's ability to successfully integrate with existng business process workflows, or implement new workflows, is critical to a achieving the high productivity increases & ROI expected of the new software. This RFP Master examines all pertinent Workflow features in detail.
