Conduct Vendor Interviews and Software Demos

Use the interview and guided software demonstration agendas prepared earlier when establishing the evaluation process.

• ●
  Review and refine those agendas based on learnings and vendor feedback.
• ●
  Prepare software demonstration scripts for the vendor to demonstrate critical functionality and features.
  
• ●
  Distribute agendas and scripts at least two weeks before interviews and software demos to allow vendor feedback, adequate preparation, and scheduling of the right roles for engagement.
  
• ●
  Facilitate team discussions immediately after interview/demo sessions when vendor personnel vacate the room to allow feedback exchange between scorers and contributors.
  
• ●
  Scorers should complete and submit their scores before engaging in site visits.
