Identify BOTH HR-PR-TA Software Features Availability and Delivery Mode

OBTAIN ALL SOFTWARE SELECTION DECISION-MAKING DATA! Unlike others, this RFP template automatically collects the information needed to identify BOTH the AVAILABILITY of needed HR-PR software features, and their DELIVERY MODE, i.e., HOW those features will be delivered, e.g. through scripting, or a report writer, or some other configuration option. This is very useful in determining the RISK inherent in a vendor proposal, and the Supportability of a proposed HR-PR-TA system.

Determine the Risk & Supportability of Proposed HR-PR-TA Software

SELECT HR-PR-TA SYSTEM COMPONENTS BASED ON ALL THE FACTS. This RFP template will automatically evaluate vendor response data in a quantitative manner to determine the SUPPORTABILITY INDEX^™ of each proposed HR-PR-TA software system. This index ranks the potential support problems inherent in each proposed system. It also automatically calculates and compares the amount of ongoing support needed to keep each proposed HR-PR-TA software system up and running. This measures the true net impact of each HR-PR-TA system on your business over the long term.

Unlike others, this RFP template can illustrate potential support problems (and risk) inherent in vendor HR-PR-TA software proposals. The Feature Support Matrix^™ (FSM) used by this RFP categorizes the inherent risk posed for each criteria, and uses that information to calculate the SUPPORTABILITY INDEX^™ for each vendor RFP response. For example, an HR-PR-TA 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 template function is useful during both the HR-PR-TA software selection AND the implementation phases of a large human resource management and payroll system because it enables effective Earned Value Management (EVM) through detailed cross-referencing of usable HR-PR-TA software functionality and vendor invoices.

Workflow Topics Included.

These ensure the proposed human resource management and payroll software can be fully integrated and utilized to enhance business procedures at all levels of the enterprise.

The ability of the proposed HR-PR-TA software 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 HR-PR-TA system. This RFP Template Master examines all pertinent Workflow features in detail. Select an HR-PR-TA system platform based on all the facts!

Effectively Manage HR-PR-TA Implementation

This HR-PR-TA software RFP template provides an "Enhancement Cost" column for cross-referencing vendor invoices with the estimated cost of each custom script and/or source code modification proposed by the vendor. This makes the RFP an ideal tool for managing vendor invoices effectively. The uses of this are many, some examples are preventing payments to vendors from exceeding usable system progress, preventing vendor over-billing, and prevents proposed tasks from being omitted. An excellent HR-PR-TA system implementation audit tool!

Vendor Response Input Validation.

VENDOR RESPONSE VALIDATION saves time and effort, and reduces errors, when evaluating vendor HR-PR-TA software proposals.

Vendors must answer each HR-PR-TA 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 human resource management and payroll software question in a consistent, standard manner. This eliminates the days of time typically wasted trying to compare the inconsistent or incomplete vendor responses obtained by using traditional, non-quantitative RFP questions! This ensures vendor HR-PR-TA proposals are easy to compare and evaluate, which makes the HR-PR software selection process much more accurate!

Included with this human resource management and payroll (HR/PR) software RFP are the following vendor response evaluation, comparison, & selection tools....

WEIGHTED GRADE POINT SCORING

Weighted Grade Score Comparison

AUTOMATED WEIGHTED GRADE POINT SCORING is a quantitative measure of how well a proposed HR-PR-TA software system fits your business needs and goals, prioritized by the custom weights (importance levels) you previously assigned. This automated graph compares the weighted score for a proposed HR-PR-TA system against others immediately - there is no need to manually evaluate and score vendor HR-PR-TA responses as you have to do with other RFPs. Select HR-PR-TA software faster and more accurately!

HR-PR Software Feature Delivery Method Comparison:

Feature Delivery Methods This graph compares HOW each vendor is planning to deliver the proposed human resource management, time/attendance, and payroll (HR-TA-PR) 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 table option, or through an embedded 3rd Party product, and how much is dependant on Custom Programming/Scripting.

This information is very useful in terms of identifying RISK, since a Fully Supported (and tested) HR-PR-TA system feature presents far less risk than that same HR-PR-TA feature delivered in some other way, such as a custom scripting or programming task or a report writer.

Supportability Index Comparison:

Supportability Index A proposed human resource management and payroll (T&A-PR-HR) software system could look very good on paper, but once implementation begins the reality could be very different. The ease with which an HR-PR-TA 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 HR-PR-TA Software System Features, and compares the potential support potentially required by each proposed HR-PR-TA system.

The Supportability Index is a forecast of how much software support and maintenance may be required to keep each proposed HR-PR-TA system running at full potential over it's lifetime. This score is determined by how much custom coding is required to implement the proposed human resource management and payroll software, and which business processes depend on the customized software.

Overall HR-PR-TA System Comparison:

Overall Comparison This graph compares the total Weighted Score of each proposed HR-PR-TA system along with its Supportability Index and associated Vendor Profile. Use this when assessing the RISK of a proposed HR-PR-TA system and whether or not the system can indeed be implemented by the proposing vendor successfully. The more custom code, the higher the risk posed by that system. Therefore, the more custom coding, the more HR-PR-TA expertise and capabilities a vendor should have.

HR-TA-PR Vendor Profile Score Comparison:

Vendor Profile Scores This graph compares a score measuring the background, HR-PR-TA expertise, capabilities, and other data collected in the Vendor Global Issues section of the RFP. The Vendor Profile Score provides a way of assessing the Capabilities PROFILE of a proposing vendor.

The backgrounds, expertise, capabilities, and certifications of each HR-PR-TA software vendor is obtained in the Vendor Global Issues section of the RFP. The vendor responses to this section are totaled separately from the software functionality topics, and this data is used to calculate the "Vendor Profile Score". The higher the score, the more CAPABILITIES a vendor is probably going to be.
