THE SOFTWARE DEMO FIELD GUIDE
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
The demo is your opportunity to be able to see how the proposed solution will not only meet
your requirements, but also how it will improve processes and save time across your organization.
This guide is broken out into different categories such as configurability, reporting capabilities,
functionality, and more. Within each category are the key considerations or points that you should
be checking off your list throughout the demo. If a point is checked during the demo, rate how
well you feel the software checks that requirement by using the scoring criteria below.
SCORING CRITERIA
Exceeds Requirement 3
Fully Meets Requirement 2
Partially Meets Requirement 1
Does Not Meet Requirement 0
After the demo, add up your score and consider the scoring ranges below as you discuss your
findings during the post-demo meeting with your team.
100-120 This match is meant to be.
80-99 A strong contender. Check to see if the points they missed are deal breakers.
50-79 May be strong in some areas, but probably not an ideal fit at this stage.
49 or lower Not recommended.
TIPS DURING THE DEMO
1. Is the vendor demonstrating a live instance of the software? If not that's a deal breaker.
2. Participate during the demo and stay engaged to make sure you cover everything you need to.
3. Take notes. This will help you identify requirements to check for your checklist.
4. Make sure there's some time left for Q&A.
