Keep all three options open until the causes of failure are understood. Meditology’s published service model explicitly includes working with existing GRC and business-intelligence platforms rather than requiring replacement. That establishes a repair-and-integration option in the market; it does not prove that repair is right for your estate. (meditologyservices.com)
| Option | Choose it only if… | Evidence required before commitment |
|---|---|---|
| Renew as-is | The present configuration meets the agreed needs and its economics remain acceptable | Current performance evidence and a normalised renewal comparison |
| Renew and repair | Identified defects are addressable within a bounded scope | Priced remediation, accountable owners and acceptance tests |
| Replace in phases | A new configuration passes critical tests and transition dependencies are manageable | Migration rehearsal, coexistence rules, archive design and cutover plan |
| Retain and add a specialist | A genuine specialist gap is better addressed without replacing the core | Clear authoritative records, integration responsibilities and combined TCO |
Work backwards from contractual notice dates and the buyer’s feasible transition plan. Do not assume a universal six- or twelve-month selection window. Before negotiating, establish how long your organisation needs to approve scope, test candidates, cleanse data, migrate, validate and retire the incumbent.
