About SoftResources
Our History
SoftResources began in 1993 at KPMG Peat Marwick where a group of consultants formed a team that focused specifically on unbiased software selection. In 1995, after reorganizations at KPMG, we formed SoftResources LLC. Since then we have successfully completed almost 600 software evaluation and selection projects with companies and government entities both large and small throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
What We Do
We offer our services in a la carte manner to enable you to choose the right level of service for your situation. Please review our software evaluation services page or contact us so that we can provide our checklist of services for your review. SoftResources services include 5 main areas:
Software Assessment & Business Case Development
SoftResources can evaluate your current systems and make recommendations regarding whether it makes sense to move to a new system or to improve your current system. We can also help you put together a realistic budget and ROI analysis for a new system and create a business case for presentation to executive management.
Software Selection
We conduct requirements analysis and put together requirements documents (including RFPs). We then conduct research on the software market to get to a Short List of 3 appropriate software vendors for your unique situation. We take you through the software demo process, including creating a Demo Script. Finally, we help facilitate your final decision by coaching you through the final due diligence research and decision making process.
Implementation Vendor Selection
The selection of the implementation team can make or break the success of your implementation! There are thousands of implementation partners throughout North America. We help you evaluate and select the right implementation partner for your situation.
Contract Review and Negotiation
We help you protect your interests in the software contract. This may include discounts, clauses, additions, and deletions to the contract to make sure that you have a fair contract. We typically find over 50 clauses in just about every contract that need to be changed.
Software System Audit
A periodic review of your software system will help you make the adjustments necessary to more efficiently utilize and extend the life of your system.
Implementation Project Oversight and Management
After you have selected your software, we provide project oversight and project management services as requested to help you complete the project with a successful implementation.
Our Consultants
Prior to joining SoftResources, our consultants have had years of experience in various management capacities conducting software selections and implementations at many different companies. Our project managers have been with SoftResources at least 13 years and have conducted software selection projects for just about every industry. We offer our clients a focused, experienced, and efficient software selection team.
Benefits
Why do our clients hire us?
Impartial and Objective Software Consulting
We do not sell, implement, or develop software of any kind in order to remain completely objective and neutral in the software selection process.
Complete Software Search
While many consulting groups track and/or implement only a few vendors, we track thousands of systems available on the market. Thus we are able to take a complete look at the market and help you find software in a niche area that may be overlooked by someone else.
Software Vendor Information
We have high level contacts at many of the software vendors. Because we do not publish reviews of the software vendors, they can be very open and honest with us regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their software and the direction they are headed.
Our Only Business
While other consulting groups do software selection occasionally, we do it everyday! We know the process, the vendors, and the best way to help you find the right software for your unique situation.
The Right System at the Right Cost
One of the biggest mistakes companies make is they buy a software system that is too complex and too costly for their situation. We help you find the right fit at the right level of cost.
