Research
Research a vendor shortlist
Compare potential vendors against your stated requirements, using current public documentation and transparent unknowns.
Start with the right context.
A shortlist should start with non-negotiable requirements rather than a generic popularity ranking. Include deployment needs, data location, support and the actual workflow the vendor must fit. Public pricing may not cover all costs.
Prepare a result you can use.
Ask your research chief to compare official documentation, public prices and known limitations. Link to evidence and mark requirements needing a trial or vendor confirmation. Produce a shortlist with the tradeoffs for each option.
Review before the next step.
Verify plan availability, regional terms and any implementation costs before purchasing. A public documentation review cannot validate security controls or contract commitments. Treat recommendations as a starting point for your evaluation.
What to bring to your chief
- Required features and integration needs
- Budget, region and procurement constraints
- Named vendors or a defined search scope
