Technology Evaluation Template

Technology Evaluation Template

• Quality Control Testing

2
Software

• The two software packages we chose are
• SPSS 13.0 and
• SYSTAT 11.0
• These software packages are advanced data
  analyses tools. Which enable users to convert
  raw data into statistics and understand those
  statistics through graphic representation.
• They allow users to share their output with
  others through many methods including web
  publishing.
• They help the user uncover important facts,
  patterns, and trends.

3
Function

• The function of this software would be to analyze
  data collected by the Quality Control and Testing
  division of petPRO.
• This would enable us to make important
  discoveries, which otherwise might be missed.
• It could also be used by other division of petPRO
  to monitor their and analyze their data.

4
The decision Process

• This auto filter helps isolate which software
  meets the most criteria. (SYSTAT scored higher)

5
The decision Process Cont

• This custom auto filter puts information into an
  easy-to-view comparison format which allows you
  to directly compare the two software packages.
  (SYSTAT scored higher)

6
The decision Process Cont

• This pivot table uses only the financial values
  (25,26,28), and calculates the total costs.
  (SYSTAT costs marginally more)
• SPSS was slightly more expensive.

7
The Template Itself

• The template was a useful aid, but far from the
  be all end all of the decision maki.
• At times concrete and guesswork questions were
  paired together.
• Often the template asked very specific questions
  which were hard to answer without actually using
  the software.

8
Recommendation

• After reviewing all the pertinent information
  regarding the two software packages, it is our
  belief that SYSTAT 11.0 would be a useful, and
  cost effective tool for petPRO.
• Although it is slightly more expensive after
  reviewing all the data we found this extra
  expenditure is more then made up for by its more
  advanced functionality.
