Software Selection Requirements


Template Instructions
Introduction
This template is designed to provide a format for consistent RFP distribution to multiple software suppliers, thus facilitating uniform supplier responses. The
template is to be used as a guideline only. Individual requirements may be easily eliminated and additional requirements added as deemed appropriate for the
organization.
Reading the through the instructions prior to any modification is extremely important for the accurate recording of supplier responses.
Once complete, vendor answers will be totaled and summarized in a table format on the 'Comparison' tab and in a graphical format on the 'Graphical Summary'
tab. These reports are designed for high level review and evaluation. If used properly, the template will calculate the overall vendor point level and percentage,
as well as the point value and percentage of the individual sections.
Each vendor should complete two tabs labeled 'General Info' and 'Functionality'. The template is populated for five different vendor responses. Additional
vendors may be added if desired, although this template is designed for a short list of candidates which should theoretically consist of no more than five vendors.
To help with completion of the template, TGI has supplied a version which is partially complete. This will provide a futuristic view of the comparison and graphical
data. Please feel free to reference this sample if you experience problems or have distorted your working copy.

Template Assistance
Should you require assistance or have questions concerning this template, please feel free to TGI at (800)837-0028 or (419)841-0291. TGI will be happy to
assist as needed.

Vendor General Info Tab


Once the vendor inputs the 'Vendor Abbreviation' field, the template will self populate the vendor's name throughout tab headers and the reporting tabs. This
field is limited to eight characters to allow for graphical output. Budgetary information will also be transferred to the 'Comparison' and 'Graphical Summary' tabs
for review.

Vendor Functionality Tab


This table includes over 1,100 typical functionality based questions to ask the individual software suppliers. By no means is this a complete listing of a
company's business requirements. It represents a starting point and a method of reducing the potential supplier list to a limited number of suppliers to present
on-site demonstrations. More importantly, the questions serve as thought starters to help the software selection team evaluate critical, desired, and 'wish list'
features.
Prior to vendor distribution, the internal selection team must review each question and determine the priority level of the function. These priority levels are listed
below and within a note field on the table's header. Should the question not be applicable to your organization, simply selection a '0' from the drop down input
guide. If the '0' is selected, the question will not be used in comparison calculations. There is no need to delete rows using this rating method, although it may
be done if desired.

Additional, company specific functionality requirements are available for entry in the last section of this template. There are twenty preformatted questions for
this purpose. If more than twenty questions are required, additional rows may be added into the spreadsheet by using an insert and copy process to copy the
cell formats and formulas from the row immediately proceeding the newly added requirement. Please note that to retain the preconfigured formulas, additional
rows must NOT be added in the first or last question of the individual sections.

Priority Levels
The priority level is to be completed by the organization seeking software. This response will be utilized in calculating a weighted average response to each
question. The available selection criteria are broken down into four levels corresponding to the organization's individual needs.

Note: There are hidden columns to calculate and store the weighted average. Users of this document must take caution when modifying or deleted
cells in the spreadsheets.

Response Scores
The response score is to be completed by the software suppliers. Supplier responses are broken down into four levels. Responses will be used to calculate
individual weighted average responses, as well as the overall supplier response. Should the supplier to enter in additional information, a comment field is
available per question, per supplier.

This table will self populate based on the five vendor responses. The individual vendor names will be automatically populated based on the vendor abbreviations
given on each 'General Info' tab supplied by the potential suppliers. There is no need to modify data on this spreadsheet, as the data will feed from the
functionality and individual vendor detail tabs.

Graphical Summary Tab


The graphs will self populate based on the five vendor responses and will correspond to the data already displayed in the 'Vendor Comparison' tab. The
individual vendor names will be automatically populated based on the vendor abbreviations given on each 'General Info' tab supplied by the potential suppliers.
