Here are 8 tips to help you buy the right technology vendor for your company.

Tip 1: Support matters, it matters in the new shoes you bought online and it matters in software and service you are looking for a partner whose product experts take pride in keeping your technology running and your company humming and its all predictable when the vendor focuses on 1 version of the product

Tip 2: Service begins day 1: That means looking for a partner who will take responsibility for getting you live on time and on budget and make sure your vendor is having equally high standards

TIP 3: Simplicity goes a long way: multiple versions and messy integrations, but it doesn’t have to be like this. Look for a partner who offers single software for all of the customers. A concept of 1 again goes a long time to make things awesome.

Tip 4: dint overlook integrations: simplicity is the key  but vendor still need to connect to other systems your organization has in place, so look for a system that can handle all kind of  integrations from the super simple to wildly complex and also support the system of open APIs

Tip 8: It all comes back to trust – I know we are talking about an ERP but when you choose a vendor you are entering into a relationship and just like any good relationship you want someone who can actually take accountability for the challenges is honest about the good the bad and the ugly. In the end, you want a partner who is transparent about how your data is used and accessed about going maintenance and about everything that matters
