AUTOMATED WEIGHTED GRADE POINT SCORING is a quantitative measure of how well a proposed facilities management & PMS system matches up to your business priorities. This graph compares the overall total scores for each proposed facility & property management system. This Score is based on all facilities management & PMS vendor responses except Pricing and Vendor Background. View sample 3-D Bar Chart comparison here. |

Feature Delivery Methods This graph compares HOW each facilities management & PMS vendor is planning to deliver the proposed facility & property management system. The bars show how much of each competing system is going to be delivered Fully Supported "out-of-the-box", how much will be delivered using the Report Writer, a Configuration option or 3rd Party product, and how much is dependant on Custom Programming & Scripting. The scores used in this facilities management & PMS comparison are based on responses to facilities management & PMS system questions only, i.e., no vendor, pricing, or support responses are utilized. View sample 3-D Bar Chart comparison here. |

Supportability Index A proposed facility & property management system could look very good on paper, but once implementation begins the reality could be very different. The ease with which a facilities management & PMS system can be implemented and maintained over it's expected life is controlled in large part by the amount of custom programming and scripting required to build & maintain the system. The Supportability Index is based on responses to facilities management & PMS System Features only. This graph compares the potential support effort inherent in each proposed facility & property management system. View sample 3-D Bar Chart comparison here. |

Overall Comparison This graph compares the total Weighted Score of each proposed facility & property management system along with its Supportability Index and associated Vendor Profile. Use this when assessing the RISK of a proposed facilities management & PMS system and whether or not the facilities management & PMS system can indeed be implemented by the proposing facility & property management vendor successfully.

A Detailed & Comprehensive List of:
Identify BOTH facilities management & PMS Software Features Availability and Deliverability
Unlike other RFPs that try (and fail) to gather useful solutions data about complex facility & property management 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 facility & property management software selection AND the system implementation phases of large facilities management & PMS projects because it enables effective Earned Value Management through detailed cross-referencing of usable software system functionality and vendor invoicing.
Determine the Risk & Supportability of Proposed
Workflow Topics Included.
The ability of the proposed software to successfully integrate with existing business process workflows, or implement new workflows, is critical to a achieving the high productivity increases and ROI expected of the new facilities management & PMS system. This RFP Master examines all pertinent Workflow features in detail.
Vendor Response Input Validation.
Vendors must answer each RFP question by choosing from a pre-defined list of possible responses. See below for an example of this drop-down list. This forces all vendors to respond to each facility & property management 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!
Color-Coded, "Apples-to-Apples" Comparison of Proposed Systems
Evaluation Ratios
Use an extensive set of ratio calculations to compare facilities management & PMS vendor proposals quickly and efficiently.
Weighted Grade Score Graph
Compares the Weighted Grade Point Score calculated for each proposed facility & property management system. This is calculated as follows: The facilities management & PMS vendor response to each RFP question is assigned an un-weighted "raw" score. This raw score is then multiplied by the weight factor you entered previously (default = 1) for that facility & property management 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 facilities management & PMS 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 facility & property management 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.
Feature Delivery Method Comparison:
An analysis of how each facilities management & PMS vendor is proposing to deliver the system feature/function contained in their facilities management & PMS proposal. The graph below shows the percentage that is Fully Supported "out-of-the-box", the percentage to be done via Report Writer, a Configuration Parameter, or Third-Party add-in, versus the percentage to be done via Custom Coding (Scripting / Programming). This information is very useful in terms of identifying RISK, since a Fully Supported (and tested) facilities management & PMS feature presents far less risk than that same facilities management & PMS feature done as a "custom programming" task. Also, see the Supportability Index, which sums up these detail risk factors.
facility & property Management Supportability Index Graph:
The Supportability Index is a forecast of how much facility & property management support and maintenance may be required to keep each proposed software system running at full potential over it's lifetime. This score is determined by how much custom coding is required to implement the proposed facility & property management software, and which business processes depend on the customized system.
Overall Comparison Graph:
This facilities management & PMS graph compares both the Weighted Grade (Suitability) Score, Supportability Index, and the Vendor Capabilities Profile side-by-side for easy reference. It is important to see how much custom coding is in a proposed facility & property management system that also has a high Weighted Score, along with the Vendor Profile. The more custom code, the higher the risk posed by that facilities management & PMS system. Therefore, the more custom coding, the more expertise and capabilities a facilities management & PMS vendor should have.
Vendor Profile Score Graph:
The vendor backgrounds, expertise, capabilities, and certifications is obtained in the Vendor Global Issues section of the RFP. The facility & property management vendor responses to this section are totaled separately from the system functionality topics, and this data is used to calculate the "Vendor Profile Score". The higher the score, the more CAPABILITIES a facilities management & PMS vendor is probably going to be.
