Platform Selection and Advisory That Gives You a Decision You Can Defend
From requirements definition and vendor research to structured evaluation and contract advisory, we run a platform selection process that is objective, documented, and built around what your business actually needs.
Requirements Definition and Scoping
We work with your business and IT teams to define a clear, complete set of platform requirements before any vendor is approached, so the evaluation is grounded in what your business actually needs rather than what vendors say they can do.
Market and Vendor Research
We identify the relevant platforms and vendors in the market, filtering out options that do not meet your baseline requirements and creating a structured shortlist your team can evaluate against consistent criteria.
Structured Vendor Evaluation
We run a structured evaluation process that scores each shortlisted vendor against your requirements, covering functionality, total cost of ownership, implementation complexity, support quality, and long-term vendor viability.
Proof of Concept and Demo Facilitation
We design and facilitate vendor demos and proof of concept exercises that test the platforms against your specific scenarios rather than the vendor's standard script, giving you a realistic view of how each platform performs for your use cases.
Contract and Licensing Advisory
We advise on platform contracts and licensing structures, helping you understand the commercial implications of each option and negotiate terms that protect your interests over the full lifecycle of the platform relationship.
Implementation Partner Selection
We help you identify and evaluate the right implementation partners for your chosen platform, so the team delivering your project has the relevant experience and capacity to execute successfully.

Why Finlytyx
Why Businesses Trust Us to Run Their Platform Selection
Choosing the wrong enterprise platform is one of the most expensive mistakes a business can make. We bring the independence, experience, and rigour to help you get it right.
01
We Are Independent of Every Vendor
We do not receive referral fees or have preferred partnerships with platform vendors. Every recommendation we make is based entirely on what fits your requirements, giving you an evaluation you can trust.
02
We Have Evaluated These Platforms Before
We have run platform selection processes across ERP, CRM, ITSM, and enterprise application categories for businesses across multiple industries. We bring practical knowledge of how these platforms perform in production, not just in a demo.
03
We Protect You from Common Selection Mistakes
Platform selection mistakes are expensive and take years to correct. We help you avoid the most common ones, including selecting on features rather than fit, underestimating implementation complexity, and choosing the wrong licensing model.
04
We Run a Process Your Stakeholders Trust
Platform decisions involve multiple stakeholders with different priorities. We run a structured, documented evaluation process that gives every stakeholder confidence that the recommendation is based on evidence rather than preference.
05
We Consider the Full Cost of Ownership
License costs are only part of the picture. We build a total cost of ownership model for each shortlisted platform that accounts for implementation, integration, training, support, and ongoing maintenance so you are comparing like with like.
06
We Stay Involved Through Implementation Kickoff
We can stay involved through contract signature and implementation kickoff to make sure the selected platform is set up in a way that reflects the requirements the selection was based on, not just the vendor's default configuration.
