Which Factors are Considered Key Determinants of the Net Emotional Footprint?
- Service Experience – Good service matters. The last thing you need is to be disrespected by your software vendor, or to get bogged down by their ineptitude or neglect. This section displays data related to quality and effectiveness of service, so you can know whether you’ll be treated well before and after you’ve made the purchase.
- Conflict Resolution – Disagreements are inevitable, but knowing your vendor will handle them reasonably, fairly, and amiably can give you peace of mind. Use the data in this section to understand which vendors will behave professionally when conflict arises.
- Negotiation and Contract – Negotiation doesn’t have to be adversarial. Both parties are always looking to get the best deal, but finding a vendor who will work with you rather than against makes it more likely you’ll both be happy with the results. Use the data in this section to determine which vendors will negotiate pleasantly and in good faith.
- Strategy and Innovation – Your vendor’s attitude toward innovation is important; if they aren’t at least keeping pace with market directions and trends, they certainly won’t be enabling you to get ahead. Use the data in this section to gauge whether your vendor appreciates the need to innovate and the extent to which they’ll support you to do the same.
- Product Impact – Software needs to reliably enable your performance and productivity. Use the data in this section to see which vendors will propel you forward, and which will be deadweight you’ll need to carry.
