​Quick answers

How long does a software evaluation take with Archways? Customers typically see up to 60% less time per evaluation compared to a manual, spreadsheet-driven process, because research, scoring and coordination happen in one workspace instead of across email threads and documents. Does an evaluation start from scratch? No — Archways checks whether the need can already be met by something the organisation owns before comparing new vendors, so evaluations start from the current portfolio rather than a blank RFP.
