Re: HECVAT Users List

["Brian T. Huntley" <bhuntley () CLARKSON EDU>]

We started using the HECVAT late in 2017 as well.

We've incorporated it into the purchasing process, so a PO cannot be issued
until we're satisfied with the responses.  This gets us in at the ground
floor for new contracts and enables us to insert ourselves in renewals of
existing contracts.

So far, we've had occasion for three vendors to do it.  Based on the type
of data we were sharing with them, the Lite version seemed most
appropriate.  One vendor already had one done, the other two had never
heard of it and took a couple of weeks to complete it but didn't really
complain about the process.

None of them were willing to have their completed HECVAT's nor their
willingness to provide a completed HECVAT shared.
