Assessment Process
CEC's consultative methodology is a proven 5 step process refined over the years. In the truest sense, it is a collaborative effort to achieve the best results. Think of CEC as an extension of your team.
Assessment
CEC's Assessment process is the critical first step in every project. We believe that a thorough understanding of your current environment and documenting the future state goals is imperative to selecting the right solution. At the completion of the Assessment, CEC will provide each customer with a SOW/RFP outlining exactly what technology the business requires. The RFP will then kickoff the Evaluation process.
Evaluation
CEC's Evaluation process draws on years of experience working with some of the most complex customer environments in North America and Europe. Using the Assessment document as our map, we work with you to select only the suppliers that check all the boxes outlined as part of your business technology requirements. Once a short list is selected, CEC works hand in hand with your team through the technology evaluation of each supplier.
Selection
CEC Selection process combines a quantitative and qualitative analysis based on a weighted scale of each customers selection criteria. CEC will work alongside the selection committee to grade each suppliers proposal and make a final recommendation. At the conclusion of the Selection process, CEC will work diligently on behalf of the customer to begin the Negotiation process.
Negotiation
CEC's Negotiation process leverages decades of experience working on the supplier side. Although we aren't lawyers, we know what it takes to secure the best deal for your business.
Implementation/Project Management
CEC's Implementation & Project Management process is the most important component of the entire methodology. It is a culmination of months of work to get to this point, and we believe a smooth project is a result of transparency, candidness, honesty and documentation. Without those four objectives, projects can easily go sideways, which is why we do it with you to mitigate as much risk as possible.
