Choosing a technology partner is a long-term decision. These questions help you compare partners on substance rather than sales talk.

  1. Have you done this before? Ask for two similar projects and, if possible, a client you can speak to.
  2. Who will actually work on my project? Meet the delivery team, not only the sales lead.
  3. How do you handle changes in scope? Look for a clear change process in writing.
  4. What is included in the price? Ask what is excluded: licences, hosting, training, travel, support.
  5. How do you manage data and security? Ask where data is stored and who can access it.
  6. What happens after go-live? Ask about support hours, response times and the cost of support.
  7. How do you train my users? Adoption decides whether the project pays off.
  8. What are the risks you see? A good partner names real risks early.
  9. Can I own the documentation and code? Make sure you are not locked in.
  10. Are you verified? On SARVO, a Verified badge means the company's details were checked. Read what verified means.

Compare in writing

Send the same requirement to three partners and compare proposals side by side. Differences in assumptions usually explain differences in price.

FAQ

How many partners should I talk to? Three is usually enough to compare.

Should I pick the lowest price? Compare scope first. A low price with a narrow scope often costs more later.
