INSIGHT

Ask The Right Question First

  • UVIMCO discovered the right question was how to organize data and processes holistically, not just replace a disliked research tool.
  • Reframing the problem unlocked a different vendor shortlist and better long-term outcomes.
ANECDOTE

Two Systems Created Hidden Bottlenecks

  • UVIMCO once split document management and research into two systems, which created access bottlenecks and version confusion.
  • That bifurcation led to many ad hoc requests and painful handoffs between teams.
ADVICE

Buy When Configurable And API-Ready

  • Prefer buying a configurable platform over building when a vendor product meets needs and reduces maintenance burden.
  • Use a system with a full API so you can extend and integrate rather than rebuild functionality.
