Procurement and purchasing teams evaluating care software
Procurement and purchasing
A software choice is judged on evidence: what exists today, how data is protected, what the contract covers and what it will cost over time.
An evaluation

Requirements
Needs mapped with the evaluation checklist.

Jobs this role gets done
Each capability is described with the same six questions.
The data processing agreement is published.
Understand total cost
The pricing model explains what drives the price.
Safeguards
Claims on this site describe what is available today. Anything planned is labelled as such and is never part of a contractual commitment unless written into the contract.
The six questions
- What is it?
- A documented evaluation path: capabilities, security, contract terms and pricing model, available up front.
- Who is it for?
- Procurement officers, purchasing committees and the legal teams reviewing contracts.
- Which problem does it solve?
- Vendor answers arrive late, in marketing language, and differ between the demo and the contract.
- How does it work?
- The capability library, security documents, data processing agreement and pricing model are public. A checklist maps each requirement to the page that answers it.
- How is it different?
- What is available today is described separately from what is planned, so the evaluation compares facts.
- What is the proof?
- Security documentation, the certification roadmap, data residency and contract documents can be reviewed before the first meeting.
