The
selection
and procurement of IT systems can be very challenging and demanding. It
requires time and expertise. Procurement is one of the most time
consuming and sensitive activities an organisation can undertake. If
the process is under pressure, it can result in poor decisions, or even
no decision.
Small organisations do not have the staff resources to devote to
effective procurement. Too often they do not have the
expertise
to specify concisely required outcomes. Too often they rely on the
sales person who may, or may not, be expert. Too often the various
activities take up the time of the most productive people in a
business.
Schools have similar but different problems. There can be a significant
disconnect between those making financial decisions and those making
technical decisions. The specification of requirements and requesting
proposals is, too often, not at arm's length and done in haste. The
impartial evaluation of proposals can be difficult when pressure is
being exerted from all sides.
Educad has 17 years experience in the computer industry as a supplier.
We have relinquished that role as we were growing less and less
comfortable with the selling culture. We have amassed great expertise.
We have no ties to suppliers as we are a support and consulting
organisation. We are truly independent. When engaged on a
procurement assignment we will not accept any commissions or
inducements from suppliers.
