Episode 45: Software Evaluation Principles

Guest: Christine Schoenen

There is so much technology being thrown at us each day that deciding which software tools to invest in is overwhelming. It’s one thing to take a chance on a free app on your phone, but a completely different thing to spend tens of thousands of dollars (or more!) on something like a software platform for analytics. This is where companies turn to trusted experts like QueBIT for guidance. But how do the experts know what to recommend? Don’t they face a similar problem?

In this episode we talk to QueBIT Master Consultant Christine Schoenen about QueBIT’s formal process for evaluating software vendor partnerships. In 2020 Christine led a QueBIT Guild whose mission was to improve our software evaluation processes to increase agility, scalability and quality. The fruits of these efforts are now being put to good use!

We also spend a little time talking about how Guild activities helped QueBIT employees to stay engaged and connected while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
