SoftSelect GmbH

Vendor-neutral software advisory from Hamburg (since 1994) with selection studies and market overviews for ERP, CRM, BI and DMS.

About the ERP selection advisory category

Selection advisors and analysts differ fundamentally from implementation partners: they work vendor-neutrally and without licence or implementation commission. Their fee is paid directly by the selecting company, which removes conflicts of interest. Typical tasks include requirements workshops with the business units, a requirements specification at function and process level, market research, structured vendor demos and a final recommendation with pros and cons per vendor.

Anyone making a six- or seven-figure investment seeks an independent second opinion — this is as true in the ERP market as it is in real estate or M&A. Selection advisory typically costs a fraction of the overall budget, but can make the difference between a productive ERP project and a struggling one.

Profile & focus

Since 1994, SoftSelect has provided vendor-neutral software-selection advisory from Hamburg — covering ERP as well as CRM, BI, DMS and HR. Its hallmark is the combination of selection projects with an in-house market and study database: SoftSelect regularly publishes market overviews and vendor comparisons that feed into concrete selection work.

According to the company, more than 4,500 organisations from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have used its advisory. The approach is vendor-independent — fees are paid by the advised company, not through vendor commissions.
