Step 3: Finalize your decision
Once you've identified your requirements and vendors who can meet them, you may find it helpful to use a rating
system to make your final decision. Using your requirements checklist, add a column for each vendor. Then rate each
vendor on their ability to meet each requirement, using a simple point-based approach as follows:
0 = does not meet requirement
1 = limited support for requirement
2 = somewhat supports requirement
3 = meets or exceeds requirement
We've provided the following form for you to use, including blank rows at the bottom if you have additional
requirements to add.
