General questions

 

Q: How impartial are your RFI/RFP Templates?

A: Axia’s Templates are completely impartial. Axia does not operate a referral service and we do not receive any payment from any software vendor. As such, we have no vested interest in the software solution you ultimately select. We are only concerned with giving you impartial information and knowledge for a successful software selection.

 

 

Q: Why should I spend GBP £100 or more, on a tool to help me select new software?

A: The process of selecting new Accounting, Business Intelligence, CRM, HR or Payroll software can be very time consuming and frustrating. Axia’s Templates follow a structured methodology and will significantly reduce the time it takes for the whole selection process. If you compare the value of time saved for those involved within your organisation with the cost of a Template, you will see your investment paid back many times over.

Q: Our software selection process has started and we’re already talking to vendors – have we left it too late to use a Template?

A: Not at all. Our Templates are used within many stages of a selection process and even within implementation stages eg to flesh out detailed requirements prior to configuring and testing. Other organisations use our Templates to check that they have included all their requirements within their new system specification. It’s rarely too late to use a Template in the software selection process.

 

Q: What will you do with our (confidential) personal information?

A: Axia is committed to protecting your privacy. We only use your information to process your order and provide impartial consulting advice/services. We will not share, rent, sell or give away your personal information. For full details, please visit our Privacy Policy.
