Decision Evaluation helps you to make good technology decisions on time
We are a specialist technology consultancy. We help clients to exploit off-the-shelf solutions by contributing to the feasibility study, business case, scoping, evaluation, selection, negotiation, contract, readiness assessment and implementation.
Since our formation in 1992, we have taken a long-term view of our projects and client relations. Decision Evaluation remains professional, ethical and impartial - qualities our clients appreciate. We believe the best advert is a happy customer, and can provide reference sites, often clients that engaged us for multiple projects or are using solutions that we helped them to select that remain fit-for-purpose up to 10 years later.
Decision Evaluation has built an impressive network of contacts and associates. Many specialists are independent and do not advertise. We occasionally sub-contract these people at client request, but more often we refer clients to the recommended providers on a goodwill basis (without referral fee) to form a direct relationship.
Martin Tate - methods for technology decision-making
Martin Tate is the founder of Decision Evaluation Ltd. His contribution is to get senior committees to make good decisions to time when selecting new technology or supporting services. He engineers consent from messy and controversial situations. He developed our evaluation, selection and procurement method. He turns his clients into sophisticated purchasers who buy technology that fits.
People deserve good technology in the workplace. Yet the traditional decision-making, evaluation, selection and procurement practises in organisations only rarely deliver it. Personal technology often outclasses corporate capabilities - the employee's home internet connection is faster, their personal smart phone is more expensive, with software that is more usable and fit for purpose. Employees can find themselves bypassing their organisation's infrastructure to get access to facilities that meet their high expectations.
People deserve good technology in the workplace. They are set high targets and often can only make those targets with access to information. The systems imposed limit access to information, yet they can be sanctioned for missing targets. We address this disconnect and help you to close the execution gap between intention and delivery.
Our involvement in the scoping, feasibility study, readiness assessment, evaluation, selection, procurement or implementation stages of your technology selection project brings good solutions to the workplace - whether on-premise off-the-shelf installations, cloud services or technology providers. People are consulted, and can see clearly that their involvement affects the outcome. The ultimate decision-makers have confidence that they have made the right choice.
