A Packaged Service To Do It All

Many companies have benefited from and have literally saved millions of dollars by having Brandon Hall Research steer the enterprise e-learning technology selection process. Some organizations make the mistake of starting the selection process by listing (and prioritizing) tool features and functionality, only to discover that the process quickly spins out of control.

We have developed a time-tested, systematic approach for quickly moving through the selection process while ensuring that the appropriate stake-holder voices are heard, that there is consensus on the team, that the team quickly rules out technologies that won’t work for the project, and that there is good documentation along the way explaining how the technology was selected. We can minimize the hours that would be spent researching dozens (if not hundreds) of e-learning technologies.

The Full-Service Technology Service combines the steps used in several of our itemized services to streamline the process. It includes the following steps:

Short List the technologies that match your needs (and identify those that won’t work for you)
Develop “Use Cases” to focus vendor demos and responses on your needs
Create an RFP to send to Short List candidates (including a full RFI and Evaluation Worksheet)
Evaluate up to six (6) proposals and recommend a final solution

Note: The total cost of purchasing each of these service packages separately would be $32,980 (this package represents a savings of $2,985).

$32,995

(plus travel-related expenses, at cost)
