Vendor selection

The wrong platform can cost years and millions. From enterprise technologies like EHR and ERP to imaging, ancillary apps, and AI, our vendor selection brings rigor and fit to your biggest technology decisions.

// The challenge

A high-stakes, high-risk choice

A major platform choice can shape a decade of cost, workflow, and care. When a selection is rushed or driven by vendor demos and sales pitches, you risk choosing a system that doesn’t fit, then paying to fix it.

  • Vendor demos hide real trade-offs
  • Requirements are vague or politicized
  • Timelines slip and momentum stalls

// Our approach

Rigor that moves fast

Our selection process defines weighted requirements, runs structured scoring, and manages the RFP, so you choose well.

  • Weighted, requirements-based scoring
  • Structured RFP and demo scripts
  • Total cost of ownership modeling

// Why Pivot Point Consulting

The uncommonly agile difference

We are vendor-agnostic, so our selection advice serves your organization alone. That independence, paired with deep knowledge across Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, and a vast array of other enterprise and ancillary technologies, means the pick reflects fit and value.

We're built for thoroughness, not shortcuts. Our healthcare IT vendor selection method aligns clinical, financial, and IT stakeholders around one shared scorecard, using structured RFPs and cost models that hold up over the years ahead.
