Build vs. Buy Analysis: Which Is Right for Your Organization?

Olive helps your organization collaborate on Build vs. Buy evaluations. Enterprises can use Olive cross-functionally to evaluate business needs collaboratively and understand whether there is more value in building a software solution, choosing something off the shelf. In many cases, our customers discover they already have something that could work in-house.

Searching for Software Vendors with a Team

Vote, work together and collaborate with your team. 

Vendor selection is difficult, both internally with your own team – gathering requirements and aligning internally – and externally with vendors. Typically, organizations rely on spreadsheets, word docs, email and endless meetings to manage innovation. With Olive, you collaborate on these tasks in the platform.

Traditional RFP vs. Olive

With a typical RFP, RFI, or RFQ process, you send out a spreadsheet or document to a few vendors and hope for responses. With Olive, you can invite as many vendors as you want directly into the project. As they respond to your requirements and answer questions, you see the results and how well they score against your requirements and needs in real-time.
