IT Vendor Evaluation & Selection for Nonprofits
Choosing the wrong technology vendor wastes years and thousands of dollars. BrightWorks IT provides expert, unbiased vendor evaluation — from RFP development to contract negotiation — ensuring your nonprofit selects the best solution at the best price.
The Risk of Wrong Vendor Choices
Bad technology choices are expensive and disruptive to undo.
No Evaluation Expertise
Your nonprofit needs a new donor CRM. How do you compare Bloomerang, Salesforce, and DonorPerfect objectively? Without evaluation methodology, decisions are based on sales demos and gut feelings.
Vendor Lock-In
Choosing a vendor without understanding contract terms, data portability, and exit costs can trap your nonprofit in a bad relationship for years.
Missing Nonprofit Pricing
Many vendors offer nonprofit discounts but don't advertise them. Without asking the right questions, you pay full price when significant discounts are available.
Implementation Failures
70% of CRM implementations fail to meet expectations. Proper vendor evaluation includes assessing implementation capability, not just software features.
