Ensure the right fit with your vendor by asking key questions about support access, industry experience, and team compatibility.
Discover the essential questions to ask your strategy software vendor with our expert guide from ClearPoint Strategy, the leading strategy execution platform. Ensure you get unlimited support, industry-specific experience, and a team you'll enjoy working with. This handbook helps you choose the right vendor for a successful partnership.
Choosing the right strategy management software is crucial, but let's be real—if the vendor behind it isn't up to par, you're in for a rough ride. At ClearPoint Strategy, we believe that the vendor's role is just as important as the software itself.
First off, ask if you'll get unlimited access to their support team. You don't want to be left hanging when you need help the most. And let's not forget about industry experience. Do they have customers in your field? If they do, that's a good sign they understand your unique challenges.
But here's the kicker: will you actually enjoy working with their people? If you can't stand the company, it's going to be tough to love their software. Our handbook is packed with the right questions to help you figure out if they're the perfect match for you. Trust us, getting this right will make all the difference.
