A computer driven information management system selectively ranks and qualifies third-parties, such as vendors, by utilizing user-defined and selected questions and qualification criteria from various data sources to utilize the database information available in public, commercial or in private, or by information directly supplied by the third-party in a registration with the organization desiring information from the third-party. The system displays the results of the scoring system for user selection. Alternatively, the system can automatically generate a notification of selection to the organization, the user and the third-party from whom the information was obtained.
