Selection of tender is a multi- criteria decision making process in which project performance is influenced by time, cost and quality. The appropriate tender selection can ensure a smooth delivery process and eliminate several complexities during construction. In this paper, the evidential reasoning (ER) approach which is capable of processing both quantitative and qualitative data is applied to find out the influencing factors as a means of solving the tender evaluation problem. The process of building a multiple criteria decision model of a hierarchical structure is presented, in which both quantitative and qualitative information is represented in a unified manner. By using a case study of Bangladesh the tender evaluation problem is then fully investigated using the ER approach. Finally we show the rank of influencing factors of best tender.
The moment of software-as-a-service (SaaS) is undoubtedly upon us. The benefits the SaaS approach to software deployment are numerous and compelling, especially for small to mid sized organizations. The ability to have access to powerful technologies, with a minimal financial commitment has opened new vistas of productivity and competition to SMBs.
But in spite of its much lauded wonders, the SaaS route is not without its perils. More used to decades old on premise software, most SMBs have little or no experience handling SaaS solutions. The rules for old on premise software analysis and purchase certainly don’t apply, as the vendor-customer relationship for SaaS is fundamentally different. In the case of on premise software, the vendor closes the sale, and makes a quick exit. But the SaaS relationship only begins with the sale. The customer entrusts the vendor with sensitive business data and is dependent on the vendor on an ongoing basis for the smooth running of systems, innovation, support and training.
This dictates that new rigorous criteria be applied while assessing different SaaS solutions for our business problems. That is where the current white paper comes in. This white paper is a result of the authors’ extensive experience in the “SaaS for SMBs” arena, and lays down a comprehensive set of criteria that any SMB must consider while analyzing any SaaS solution.

This study seeks to examine how a company can select the best intermediary for its
Marketing channels with minimum of criteria and time. A theoretical framework is proposed based
on the most important tasks of intermediary and the criteria to measure them. There are four basic
tasks and thirty criteria in three independent levels. Subsequently, an exploratory case study in
Iranian Food industry is described to illustrate the value of the framework. It is possible to apply the
theoretical framework to select the intermediary for any industry or country. However, there might
be possible location-specific or industry-specific limitations. Moreover, the framework has proved
to be useful in improving the selection of the intermediary in marketing channel. This is a notable
and promising side-effect of the exploratory study, at least from a managerial point of view.
