Vendor Selection and RFP Management
Managing the evaluation and selection of vendor offerings
Our Value
Many firms will see the selection of a vendor solution from a complex landscape of third-party product offerings as arduous and expensive. Clients sometimes struggle with competing perspectives within their organisation and need an independent third party to evaluate the vendors and manage the selection process.
At GreySpark, we have our finger on the pulse of the industry. Not only do we keep abreast of all technology developments, but we have a team of Fintech specialists to assist with the shortlisting of vendors to take to RFP. You never need be concerned that you have overlooked a more tempting vendor product.
GreySpark’s work on vendor evaluations are performed by industry practitioners and experts that have real world experience and an understanding of the vendor’s products, use cases and capabilities. We are 100% independent and have no bias toward one vendor over another and we do not resell any technology. You can trust that our recommendations are provided on a completely impartial and unbiased basis and are in the best interests of ensuring that our clients’ needs and requirements are met.
