Mr. Windle started things off by explaining why businesses conduct software demos, stating, "Software demos are vital to the software selection process, critical, actually. But...there are some key things you have to keep in mind, otherwise it can quickly become a superficial beauty pageant."

Mr. Windle further examined the important role of documenting your needs and sending them to the vendor prior to any demos, emphasizing, "you can look at the demonstration process from the client side as an exam. You are testing the vendors…[you should say] here's our criteria, here's the exam."

In closing, Mr. Windle reminds listeners, "having the team go through these efforts [of gathering your needs] in advance of the presentation only helps everyone involved."
