Vendor selection process guidance Use a concise set of process-oriented requirements and evaluation criteria, then engage with the vendors on the recommended short list. The requirements should focus on key HR business process scenarios more than data. Scripted, process-based demonstrations is the key evaluation mechanism by which these vendors should be judged. High level selection criteria focus on more than cost and functionality. These should include flexibility, usability, vendor/product viability, industry knowledge, SaaS, technical architecture, and customer base/references. Cost analysis should focus on total ownership costs for 7 to 10 years. For on-premise systems, factor in hardware, upgrades, internal support staff, vendor support costs, and additional staff. SaaS is much simpler to estimate. The overall vendor selection process is described in the graphic below on the next slide, as well as in the new research document, Reinvent Your Applications Vendor Selection Process To Fit Cloud Deployment Models, January 26, 2011. 31
