Methodology
The 5-star evaluation model
A transparent way to judge fit. Scores reflect standardised platform deployments — a vendor self-assessment, to be corroborated by customer reviews.
Three dimensions
- Value Added
- New business value and capability the platform unlocks.
- Cost Reduction
- Reduction in operating cost — automation, consolidation, fewer errors.
- Efficiency Improvement
- Time and throughput gains; shorter cycles; cross-process flow.

How to read this. Scores are vendor self-assessment against standardised deployments — not a performance guarantee. Star anchors (e.g. 5★ cost reduction ≈ ≥30% operating-cost reduction) and validation through independent customer reviews are documented internally and will be published alongside customer feedback.
