About the Customer
Engineering is beginning a new MES vendor selection initiative with a global leader in the Medical Device Manufacturing industry focused on interventional therapies. The customer designs, develops, manufactures and markets innovative devices and has a broad portfolio of products that addresses challenging medical conditions and significant clinical needs across two major markets, neuro and peripheral vascular.
About the Project
The project involves analyzing the manufacturer’s existing processes, systems and requirements, then helping them evaluate and choose the best and right medical history record software solution to fit their needs.
Our expert consultants will start by analyzing or, if necessary, writing user requirement documentation to ensure that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the business objectives of the proposed IT solution. Once documented, the customer’s business requirements will drive the rest of the process as we help them identify, solicit information from, and compare the vendors and software solutions that best fit their specific needs. At Engineering, we know that the best vendor selection projects are:
- Led by the business and enabled by IT
- Based on well-defined, agreed-upon business requirements
- Unbiased and open to all potential vendors and solutions
- Inclusive of all stakeholders
- Committed to creating consensus, not endless discussions
- Focused on making the best overall selection for the business
Engineering’s Advantage
The marketplace for enterprise class manufacturing software is complex and constantly evolving. Sure, there is no shortage of vendors competing for your business, but with dozens of companies all claiming to offer best-in-class products, how do you choose the right solution?

An incorrect choice could prove costly and cause more harm than good.

Our vendor-neutral approach combined with our real-world experience implementing manufacturing IT solutions means we can provide insight to help our customers understand the true capabilities of each vendor’s proposed solution and therefore choose the one that best meets the needs of your business.
