Easing the Pain - Solving the Challenge

RampRate's methodology helps clients cut through chaos and confusion in the process of selecting IT outsourcing providers. Clients typically spend months listening to disparate value propositions and sales pitches from providers who profess they can "do it all." This confusion, coupled with consultants who typically drag out the process by providing subjective "high level" advice (usually biased towards certain providers), makes the IT Supplier selection process cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient.

Service Description

After performing a detailed requirements analysis, RampRate converts and weighs all decision drivers, both subjective and objective, into discreet objective data. The data is then cross-referenced with the SPY Index™, and relevant IT Suppliers are quickly identified. The CFO, CIO, and/or decision team are provided with a framework and roadmap to make the decision rapidly and confidently, based on real-time market data -- over 35 factors that influence purchasing decisions.
