Technology Assessment & Selection
We bring requirement, proposal, and proof of concept discipline to major investments in ERP, MES, EAM, and digital platforms
Technology Assessment
& Selection
Technology Assessment and Selection brings rigour to the major technology decisions that too often default to vendor relationships and gut feel. Our team follows a structured workflow that moves from requirements definition through a market scan, technical evaluation, and commercial risk assessment to a clear recommendation. We apply it to enterprise resource planning, manufacturing execution, enterprise asset management, maintenance management, digital platforms, automation systems, and emerging technology. Every output is built to stand up to board scrutiny and independent examination.
Our implementation model
A practical, phased delivery approach that runs from gap assessment through operational embedding and is built around your regulatory context.
Define functional and performance requirements, integration constraints, scalability, lifecycle support, total cost of ownership criteria.
Industry technology landscape scan, vendor capability mapping, reference visits, analyst report synthesis (Gartner / Forrester / equivalents).
Detailed technical assessment via RFI / RFP, proof of concept, demo evaluation, security and architecture review.
TCO modelling, contract risk evaluation, vendor financial health check, lock in / exit analysis.
Weighted scoring against criteria, executive recommendation, vendor selection and commercial negotiation.
Vendor onboarding, implementation governance, contract management, performance KPI baseline.
Technology Assessment in full scope
Value of Technology Assessment & Selection
- We make technology decisions you can stand behind under challenge
- We evaluate vendor lock in risk in the open
- We surface implementation risk before you commit
- We validate security and architecture early rather than late
- We run a procurement process you can defend under examination
- We build regulatory compliance into the selection criteria
- We validate data protection and cybersecurity before selection
- We carry out due diligence on each vendor financial health
- We select technology that genuinely fits your purpose
- We surface and manage integration risk
- We hand over to implementation with a clear baseline
- We define user acceptance criteria before selection rather than after
- We validate the investment on total cost of ownership
- We help you avoid the heavy cost of the wrong selection
- We negotiate stronger commercial terms through a competitive process
- We speed value realisation by choosing technology that fits the first time
