You haven’t evaluated new software in an number of years? Let us help. We’ve gathered these helpful vendor-agnostic steps for what to consider:
- Start early - Most companies need 2-6 months to evaluate a new piece of software, and then an additional 2 months for implementation. Optimizely implementation teams can move as fast as your teams are able, but most companies need 1-2 months to complete a migration.
- Dream big - In the future you may wish to expand testing to your app. Or you may value better integrations with other parts of your tech stack. Now is the time to choose the right partner to unlock these dreams.
- Don’t underestimate internal approvals - Due to economic uncertainties, Finance and Procurement teams have added extra scrutiny to every purchase, whether it be for software, headcount, or other tools for growth. Even very flat organizations and rapid startups have found their decision making delayed.
- Consult experts - Read reports from analysts and CRO experts, not just the vendors themselves. Ask for reference customers to have a call about their experience.
