At the Enterprise Software Showcase (ESS)—taking place in Austin, Texas, from February 23 to 25, 2026—Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) will officially unveil the next generation of its decision support system: TECAdvisorTM Nova.
This platform revolutionizes how organizations approach enterprise software selection and digital transformation.
The ESS provides the ideal setting for organizations to witness the powerful solution firsthand and discover how it can deliver strategic advantages in software planning, evaluation, and selection.
Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) is a global technology consulting firm dedicated to supporting organizations in their digital transformation initiatives. TEC provides expert guidance in the planning, evaluation, and selection of enterprise software solutions that align with each organization’s unique goals and requirements.
For more than 30 years, TECAdvisor has served as a digital platform that facilitates enterprise software analysis, comparison, and selection. In an era when software research and evaluation cycles stretch over several months and consume significant resources, TECAdvisor helps organizations to shorten the timeline—to even just a few weeks, in some cases—while reducing the effort, accelerating decision-making, and mitigating the risk of choosing the wrong solution.
TECAdvisor covers the entire spectrum of enterprise applications—from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions to Supply Chain Management (SCM) platforms—and serves organizations across all industries. Being industry independent, the platform has the flexibility to adapt to the specific functional and operational requirements of diverse sectors.
“With TECAdvisor, Technology Evaluation Centers offers more than a tool—it provides comprehensive support in the evaluation process. This guided approach ensures that each organization manages its selection process with complete clarity, methodological transparency, and confidence that their final decision aligns perfectly with their business strategy and operational priorities,” says Mehdi Aftahi, CTO, Technology Evaluation Centers.
In a market saturated with enterprise software options, trust must be built on objectivity and transparency. TECAdvisor has earned that trust by basing its evaluations on real, continuously updated data from thousands of solutions available on the market. This data-driven approach eliminates subjectivity and enables reliable comparisons between different alternatives.
A key differentiator of TECAdvisor is its ability to adapt to each organization’s unique business context. Through configurable evaluation and analysis models, users can assign weights to specific evaluation criteria according to their strategic priorities. This means the evaluations don’t follow a generic one-size fits-all approach, but truly reflect the specific needs, goals, and industry context of each organization.
The inherent complexity of the software market is overwhelming. TECAdvisor simplifies this complexity by transforming technical information into clear, actionable reports. Through intuitive visualizations, detailed rankings, and structured comparison tables, the platform translates technical analysis into decision support—facilitating internal alignment, accelerating consensus, and supporting every selection decision with concrete data.
As an online platform, TECAdvisor also offers a management experience that adapts to each team’s workflow and pace. This flexibility not only improves convenience but also ensures complete traceability throughout the research, evaluation, analysis, and selection process. Every step remains transparent, and every decision can be reviewed and revisited at any time.
Finally, scalability stands out as a fundamental strength of the platform. Whether the project involves analyzing and evaluating 2, 5, or 10 different software solutions, TECAdvisor consistently maintains its methodological objectivity and organizational clarity. Even as the scope of the project expands, complexity never compromises the accuracy or quality of results.
At the Enterprise Software Showcase, you will be able to see TECAdvisor in action during our keynote presentation and individual demo sessions. These live demonstrations will highlight the platform’s most powerful capabilities and its value in guiding organizations through the software selection process.
At TEC, our commitment is clear: to provide complete independence from software vendors and to apply a rigorous, transparent methodology that combines quantitative information with expert analysis. The result is a structured, unbiased process that ensures your organization selects the enterprise software solutions that best fit your unique business goals and operational needs.
