Description
Are you looking to find the best-fit OSS/BSS for your organisation and proposed transformation? Are you aware that there are over 500 different OSS/BSS vendors (and even more products) to choose from?
How many of those products are you familiar with? Five? Ten? Fifty? How do you know whether the best-fit product or supplier is within the list of those you already know? Perhaps the best-fit is actually amongst the hundreds of other products and suppliers you’re not familiar with yet. How much time do you have to research each one and distill down to a short-list of possible candidates to service your specific needs? Where do you start? Lots of web searches? There has to be an easier way.
At Passionate About OSS, we maintain The Blue Book OSS/BSS Vendor Directory, which provides a comprehensive list of vendors.
We leverage this directory and help customers to:
- Develop Persona-driven Requirement Mapping (ie Prepare a list of roles, activities and requirements)
- Capture Requirements – Use Persona Mappings and/or other requirement gathering techniques to quickly capture the needs of the business
- Supplier Shortlisting – Use techniques to quickly select a short-list of best-fit vendors/products for further analysis
- Prepare Procurement Event Documents – Prepare RFI / EOI / RFP documents to assist with a procurement event
- Assist with the Design of Proof of Concepts (POC) for vendors to create so that deeper analysis of vendor solutions can be made
- Provide deeper analysis of products / solutions
- Transition / transformation planning
- Creation of essential working documents during the pre-implementation or implementation phase of this project/s (eg Project Management Plan, Change Management Plan, Data Migration Plan, Test Plan, etc)
More information about our methodology can be found on our OSS Transformation and Vendor Selection Page. Book an initial meeting with us at no cost or obligation to discuss your specific needs. On request, we will subsequently develop a customised version of this methodology for your specific needs.
