Wiser Technology Advice

Trusted, independent procurement advice

The world of information technology can be complex and overwhelming. Procurement of information technology is a journey that needs wise advice to be navigated safely.

At Wiser Technology Advice we guide you through the journey by following these stages of procurement:

1. Requirements analysis.
   Wiser Technology Advice facilitates a workshop and documents your requirements. Is a new system needed and if so what type of system and what is required of the software? We require operational staff at this workshop to ensure a good understanding of the business needs and to bring people along on the journey of change.
2. Vendor selection.
   Wiser Technology Advice is your liaison with vendors, managing the process of finding software that meets your needs, comparing vendor experience and service and comparing the total cost of ownership of each alternative.
3. Project Governance.
   You work closely with the vendor to ensure the implementation is achieved in a timely fashion and your data is correctly migrated into the new system. We provide ongoing advice through membership in a project steering committee.
4. Acceptance testing.
   Wiser Technology Advice acts as your liaison with the vendor to conduct acceptance testing. Does the software implemented by the vendor meet the requirements they said it would fulfil in their tender response?
