Vendor & Platform Selection
Help organisations select technology vendors and platforms objectively and defensibly.
Vendor Selection Is a Risk Decision
Technology vendor decisions are among the most consequential an organisation makes — they are difficult and expensive to reverse. Clavon provides structured vendor selection processes that are objective, traceable and defensible to stakeholders and auditors alike.
ScopeWhat Vendor Selection Covers
Define evaluation criteria: functional fit, technical alignment, cost of ownership, roadmap, support, compliance, vendor viability
