Giva's Needs Assessment Tool Simplifies Buying Help Desk and Customer Service Software

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) May 12, 2008 -- Customers looking to purchase IT help desk software (http://www.givainc.com/help-desk-software/index.htm) or customer service software (http://www.givainc.com/customer-service-software/index.htm) encounter a myriad of problems and obstacles in the purchase process. Giva is offering its new Needs Assessment Tool (http://www.givainc.com/free-needs-assessment/index.htm) on a complimentary basis.

This vendor-independent tool allows evaluation teams and senior executives making important business decisions to approach the purchase of software in a much more rigorous and analytical manner. The Tool provides the information essential to negotiate a services contract, avoiding the difficult struggle to understand the differences between software products and assess vague claims.

"At Patient Care Technology Systems, we used Giva's Tool to document our requirements across multiple work groups to generate a single prioritized list. We shared this list with a number of vendors and were able to make a more rigorous and defendable vendor recommendation to our senior team," said Jim Kline, Vice President of Client Services, Patient Care Technology Systems. "The Needs Assessment Tool provided the objective criteria we needed to evaluate several vendors on an apples-to-apples basis."

"Our tool can be a starting place and the single document to drive cross-functional consensus of all the departments involved in the purchase of customer service and help desk software. We listened to many companies struggle with this process and they asked us for our help," explained Ron Avignone, Founder of Giva, Inc. "This vendor-independent Tool really helps management teams make an objective comparison of vendors based upon their prioritized list of requirements."
