It outlines key subjects to examine regarding the product, partner, process, price, and post-implementation support. For the product, it suggests evaluating the functional scope, market fit, connectivity, customization options, and reporting functionality. For the partner, it recommends assessing culture, experience, vision, and employee structure. The process section covers project type, methodology, transparency, and change management.
