What is a Value Score?

The Value Score indexes each vendor’s product offering and business strength relative to their price point. It does not indicate vendor ranking.

Vendors that score high offer more bang for the buck (e.g. features, usability, stability, etc.) than the average vendor, while the inverse is true for those that score lower.

Price-conscious enterprises may wish to give the Value Score more consideration than those who are more focused on specific vendor/product attributes.

Weight: You can adjust the weight to what is more important to you.

Progress Bars:
When both vendor and product weightings are equal to exactly 100%, your custom shortlist will be generated.

Your Challenge

Enterprises must facilitate the sharing of documents within and between different departments. Sharing may have to occur across sites and time zones.
Many struggle with lifecycle management of documents, including retention, access, and findability.
For some, archiving or information governance principles must be applied to collections of documents. Approval workflows and document disposition are particularly important.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Knowledge workers no longer spend all their time at a desktop. They are on the road using mobile devices to access internal resources. They have also come to expect immediate connection as with consumer technology such as Box.net. Knowledge Worker tools must facilitate access.
IT is proficient at maintaining documents but terrible at destroying them. The resulting document proliferation challenges both IT infrastructure and compliance initiatives.
Knowledge workers must find the right information to respond to demands. Tools for information access and organization are becoming crucial.
