On-Line Consultant Software was founded in 1990 to provide an efficient and logical method to select application software. The  ON-LINE CONSULTANT was developed as the first easy-to-use and affordable software tool  to automate the RFP (Request for Proposal) selection process.

The  ON-LINE CONSULTANT  RFP software can be used by any organization to send an RFP via e-mail, upload vendors' responses and automatically generate comparison reports and graphs--including a cost analysis!  

Prior to the ON-LINE CONSULTANT, selecting new information systems involved countless hours of defining requirements, evaluating bulky paper proposals with tedious spreadsheets. To avoid this lengthy ordeal, many people took short cuts. Some skipped the RFP process altogether with unfortunate results.

Because the RFP is considered such a valuable tool for selecting systems, the demand for an automated method was great. Thousands of  healthcare organizations, manufacturing companies, consultants, school districts, government agencies and others have taken advantage of the ON-LINE CONSULTANT to select new systems.

We offer pre-loaded RFP versions for the following areas:

The company has developed other productivity tools, such as the NEEDS ASSESSOR and  RFI PRO, to automate time intensive tasks.

In response to customers' requests for vendor selection resource guides, we launched high quality on-line directories, which provide a convenient "one-stop shopping" resource for IT professionals. The directories feature detailed descriptions of vendors, links to web sites and interesting White Papers on current IT topics. These resource guides are the Healthcare IT Yellow Pages,  the Enterprise IT Yellow Pages, and the Schools IT Yellow Pages.

In addition to being a helpful research tool for buyers,  IT companies and consultants have found our popular IT directories to be a very affordable method for generating new customer  leads. Qualified companies can request a listing by completing a form on our sign-up page.

As part of our commitment to sharing information about the IT selection process, we have published a collection of articles called IT Selection Strategies which showcases best practices and current thinking on selecting information systems.
