NelsonHall Launches 2016 NEAT Vendor Evaluation for Software Testing
NelsonHall has today launched its 2016 Software Testing NEAT, a strategic tool to assist sourcing managers in assessing vendor capability in software testing, while cutting the time and cost of testing projects by 50%.
This NelsonHall Vendor Evaluation & Assessment Tool (NEAT) is now available to NelsonHall clients and is also available for a period free-of-charge to buy-side organizations through partners SIG and SSON.
The tool shows how vendors are positioned overall on their ability to deliver software testing services, as well as within five distinct market segments (focus areas to meet specific business requirements): Digital Focus, Consulting Focus, Efficiency Focus, Pure-Play Focus, and Transformation Focus.
Vendors evaluated are Accenture, Amdocs, Atos, Capgemini, Ciber, Cigniti, Cognizant, CSC, CSS Corp, Dell Services, Hexaware, IBM, Infosys, L&T Infotech, Mindtree, NIIT Technologies, NTT Data, Olenick & Associates, QA Infotech, Qualitest Group, SQS, TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Virtusa.
The NEAT tool is part of NelsonHall’s “Speed-to-Source” methodology. The tool sits at the front-end of the vendor screening process and consists of a two-axis model: assessing vendors against their “ability to deliver immediate benefit” to clients and their “ability to meet future client requirements”.
NEAT evaluations are based on a combination of interviews with vendors and their clients. Vendors are scored against a wide range of criteria, establishing a number of scenarios, each representing a different business situation or client business need.
Furthermore, the NEAT tool enables buy-side organizations to input their own weightings and tailor the Software Testing Services dataset to their specific requirements across all 60 vendor evaluation criteria. Using the interactive web-based tool, sourcing managers can configure the NEAT evaluations in accordance with their own priorities and business requirements for service offerings, delivery capability, customer presence, benefits achieved, and other criteria.
To arrange a demonstration of NelsonHall’s NEAT vendor evaluations, contact Guy Saunders.
