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
software, evaluation consulting, procurement consulting, analysis
consulting, enterprise software consulting, decision data knowledge
bases, government evaluation services, and Test-tools.
Q: How different is the TEC Evaluation Center from
other sites with superimposed vendors' data (features/functions)?
A: The main difference is the fact the TEC Evaluation
Center relating to Test-tools uses a combination of extensive vendor analysis
coupled with the powerful analytical capabilities of
eBestMatch™. Vendor data is third party evaluated and is
fully impartial. The depth of analysis goes far beyond
features and functions; it includes elements such
as Corporate Strategy, Flexibility and Viability.
This gives all vendors an equal playing field. When
this data is entered into our Knowledge Base
and viewed through the eBestMatch™ engine, it becomes
an invaluable tool for analysis -“the Rolls
Royce of Decision Analysis Software”(ZDNet).
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 Test-tools for Test-tools)
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.
