Decision Tools for Vendor Selection Tour   Introduction Gartner's Decision Tools for Vendor Selection products are dedicated to helping organizations with the evaluation, selection, and purchase of IT products and solutions. Gartner currently offers a portfolio of more than 30 software-based decision support models that combine a comprehensive set of evaluation criteria and objective solution-specific data presented by an elegant software application. The Gartner Decision EngineTM software application enables users to manage the enormous number of criteria that are considered when making a complex IT selection. Organizations are able to assign the relative importance to criteria, perform what-if analysis and produce reports and charts at all stages of their decision. When using the Decision Engine, organizations are able to fully examine ALL aspects of the decision and assign the weightings that are appropriate to THEIR requirements. Underpinning the sophisticated analysis tool is an extensive knowledge base of objective and validated information about the major vendors and solutions that are available within the market that each model considers. In this brief demo, you'll see an overview of the Decision EngineTM. We'll use the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) decision model. Please be aware that decision models are available for many other topics, including hardware, software infrastructure and collaborative commerce solutions.
