The Ellipsis Partners process for product/vendor selection is specifically designed to ensure that you are making an informed and objective business decision.

Requirements Gathering and RFP Development

Ellipsis Partners is uniquely qualified to translate your business needs into technical, functional and design requirements. We employ a variety of techniques to isolate your requirements and craft those needs into technical specifications. Our format for communicating your needs gives you the flexibility to prioritize what’s most important to you, and provide room for the vendors to be creative in their response.

RFP Review

If you have created your own RFP in-house, but would benefit from having a set of seasoned eyes look it over, then let’s talk. With over 6 years of experience in creating IT-related RFPs, we can look critically at how you are communicating your needs to the vendor community and help you ensure that you are asking for precisely what you need.

Vendor Selection

Called “the gold standard” by our clients, our methodology can help steer you through the vendor selection process and ensure that your interests are being protected. We can help you distribute your RFP to the vendors who are best suited to respond, and be one of your team members in reviewing the proposals you receive. Based on your requirements and internal priorities, we build an evaluation matrix and coach you through the filtering questions you’ll want to ask. We consider it our job to buffer you from the sales pitches and guide your team to focus on what’s really important.
