TEC was coined "the Rolls-Royce of decision support tools" by ZDNet
Business decision support, IT consulting, research, technology
vendor, technology market, technology trends, Helping People Make
Technology Decisions: in IT, procurement, RFP, eRFP, RFI, eRFI,
DSS, DSA, and much more. eBestMatch reduces the time and cost associated
with selections. Community of senior IT professionals including
CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, CTOs, VPs, directors, and managers. Representing
the highest on-line concentration of technology managers, directors,
executives, and consultants. RFP analysis research, RFI comparison

consulting, enterprise software consulting, decision data knowledge
bases, government evaluation services, and Enterprise Technologies.
Never before has any industry seen an organization that meshes the needs of both buyers and
sellers quite the way we do. For IT decision makers the benefits are obvious. The true
testimony of our coming of age in terms of market dominance however, lies within the manner
in which the software vendors themselves have gotten behind the program. Granted, at the
outset we were a bit of a thorn in their sides. Understandably, because of our rather
extensive vetting process and stringent requirements specifically for Enterprise Technologies.
Q: How is 'Percent Match' calculated?
A: The Percent Match calculation demonstrates the real
power of the eBestMatch Engine. The Percent Match is our patented
calculation that helps IT decision makers avoid some of
the problems with simply using a weighted average (the
“Ability to Meet Criteria” like Enterprise Technologies for Enterprise Technologies)
calculation is a weighted average.
This calculation becomes useful when the decision maker wishes
to consider the consistency of scores across all of the
criteria in addition to the vendors’ Ability to Meet Criteria
calculation. The eBestMatch Engine runs through patented
algorithms to generate a Weighted Average Composite
Index (WACI), which is a number between 0 and 1. A WACI
of 1 indicates that a vendor’s scores were very
consistent throughout the RFI. Those vendors with
a WACI below 1 have inconsistencies in their scores
across the RFI. The degree to which the scores are
inconsistent determines the WACI. The Percent Match
is a simple calculation of: The Ability to Meet
Criteria (x) WACI.
