RFP/Software

RFP/Software Services

The selection and implementation of a new software solution can be a time-consuming and difficult undertaking.  Whether selecting a single software system or selecting and integrating multiple “best of breed” solutions, such purchases can be complex considering the automation, workflow, and organization wide systems integrations.  Baecore Group’s experienced project team can help you navigate the process to make a selection that supports your organization now and into the future.

Organization-wide Focus

A new software solution will need to support day-to-day activities in multiple departments across your organization, “play well” with existing technologies, and also provide functionality to meet the organization’s goals.  To support your selection of your software solution(s) we assist with the identification of cross-department needs and requirements and develop the overall plan for integration, while keeping in mind your organization’s strategic objectives.

RFP & Selection Management

From creating RFPs and Functional Requirements, to coordinating and managing your vendor demonstrations, Baecore Group can project manage your entire selection process. Baecore staff will ensure your respondents have the information they need in a timely fashion while maintaining the integrity of the selection process. This lets your team focus on evaluating the potential solutions that best meet your needs.

Foundation for a Strong Selection

Implementing improvements, such as a new software system, processes, or tools, are more than just an install of that solution.  It involves the integration of core processes with new and existing hardware and software solutions to provide business process improvement.  Our project methodology incorporates this “end-to-end” approach to provide you support and guidance to meet your objectives.

Assessment

A good selection starts with a quality assessment.  To identify the solution that best fits your organization’s needs and objectives, it is necessary to clearly establish what those needs and objectives are. Completing a thorough assessment provides for gaining an understanding of the current processes, needs, objectives and opportunities to improve efficiencies, customer services, data transparency, and data access that are important to a successful solution process. This provides the foundation for identifying the needs and requirements to produce any selection documentation such as RFPs, Functional Requirements, and demonstration agendas

Strategic Plan

Baecore Group’s experienced project team will help you develop a strategy that goes beyond identifying functionality that you need. We will help you strategically determine how a new solution can best fit within your organization, take advantage of existing solutions, and ensure that any new software doesn’t provide redundancy. With a well-developed strategic plan Baecore can help your team maximize the return on your investment and evaluate the most cost effective solutions.
