Software Buyers: Interview on Purchasing Habits

We're running a paid study on the software purchasing lifecycle across various company stages. Understanding how different roles evaluate, select, and champion new tools helps clarify the modern procurement process. We want to map the journey from identifying a technical need to signing the final vendor contract.

You will join a remote, AI-moderated interview to walk us through a recent software purchase your team made. We will ask you to detail the evaluation process, the stakeholders involved, and any friction points you encountered. You will reflect on how your specific role influenced the final buying decision. The conversation flows as a standard Q&A session where you can draw directly from your recent procurement experiences.

We are looking for professionals who actively participate in software buying decisions at their companies. We welcome IT directors, procurement managers, department heads, and senior engineers who evaluate tools. Whether you are at a fast-growing startup or an established enterprise, your perspective on vendor selection is highly relevant.
