IDENTIFY FEATURE AVAILABILITY & DELIVERABILITY. Unlike other construction ERP software RFPs, Infotivity RFP Masters template 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 construction enterprise resource planning RFP Master includes a Feature Support Matrix (FSM) to automatically capture this information, which can be used to create very accurate and reliable construction software system implementation schedules. View samples here.

Determine RISK and SUPPORTABILITY. Construction Software 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 construction enterprise resource planning software system up and running. Measure the true impact of each system on your business over the long term. View sample here. | |

Feature Delivery Methods This graph compares HOW each construction ERP vendor is planning to deliver the proposed ERP 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 construction enterprise resource planning comparison are based on responses to construction system questions only, i.e., no vendor, pricing, or support responses are utilized.

Supportability Index A proposed ERP system could look very good on paper, but once implementation begins the reality could be very different. The ease with which a enterprise resource planning 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 construction enterprise resource planning software system features only. This graph compares the potential support effort inherent in each proposed construction ERP software system. View sample 3-D Bar Chart comparison here. |
