USE THIS 6-POINT CHECKLIST TO EVALUATE CURRENT STATE AND MAP YOUR FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE.

GO TO CHECKLIST.

Consider what’s possible when your account team brings ideas to the table. Or when your VMS fits your workforce program like a glove.
That’s the difference between making it work and getting it right.
It’s time.

YOUR VMS EVALUATION CHECKLIST

The best way to start evaluating VMS providers in a thoughtful way? A VMS checklist.

Use a checklist that ensures you’re comparing apples-to-apples in your vendor review process, and will give you the confidence you need in deciding your next move.
The number of questions on the checklist is not as important as asking the right questions. Here are six to get you started:

IS YOUR VMS...

willing to align to my current business processes?
able to evolve — and help me evolve?
flexible enough to handle ALL variations in my processes, locations and more?
a cultural fit for my organization — are they honest and forthright?
in it for the long haul? What percentage of their annual revenue is reinvested in product development?
known for its ongoing client support and maintenance model?

NEXT STEPS: Be honest about which of the questions on your checklist make or break your confidence in a VMS. Trust your experience and what you know your business needs to be successful.

READY FOR A CHANGE?

Make the Switch

Changing for the better isn’t as daunting as you think. To get you started, we’ve outlined the three phases of making a successful switch.

DATA, FIRST.
You have years’ worth of data that’s at the center of your VMS program success. Handing it over to a new provider feels scary. But it doesn’t have to. Work with your new VMS provider to manage and segment your data, based on your operational needs and future utilization. Getting this step under your belt will give you confidence you’re moving in the right direction.

STEP-BY-STEP, RIGHT THIS WAY.
Your VMS provider can help you tailor your transition processes to your specific program management and end user requirements. Do this for your system implementation, change management, training and stakeholder communications, as well.

PARTNER FOR CHANGE.
Great news! You’re not the first person to switch VMS providers. Perhaps that doesn’t make it less stressful, at first. But know there’s a path to success already blazed. Work with your VMS provider to tap into their experience and embrace best practices they’ve collected for transitioning from existing VMS tools to an environment that empowers your business to get it right.
