An LMS RFP is a document that specifies a client’s requirements and asks potential suppliers or contractors for information. An RFP can also assist the client in ensuring that the project or contract fits their needs in terms of timeliness and budget. Your exact goals for using an LMS are spelled out in the RFP.

One item, that people who are looking for a learning system often perceive is that the RFP will be the key deciding factor on selecting or at least narrowing down their list for a learning system. The IT folks involved in the RFP is another monster. Cookie is one thing, but it tends to slide more towards Frankenstein. HR involvement.

Is the LMS RFP a Necessary Evil? A Request for Proposal (RFP) is one of the most widely used yet controversial tools for learning management systems buyers.

Businesses typically embrace a robust training outsourcing process for quality, time, and cost considerations. Cost: Will your efforts result in a lower-cost product than outsourcing it? As discussed earlier, if you can’t match the quality, time, and cost of an outside vendor, then it’s time to outsource.

Throughout the last month, I’ve reviewed 12 RFP responses for 3 different LMS business scenarios: association learning, commercial training and corporate channel/customer education. An LMS license model depends on two key elements: 1) How a vendor calculates usage and 2) The related costs for that level of usage.

While many larger companies have already transitioned into e-Learning and embrace it as a vital component of their overall training efforts, many mid-size and smaller companies have been waiting on the sidelines observing how the technology, methods, and costs evolve. The other advantage to this approach, beyond cost and quality, is time.

I also think it is ideal for any association, and any vendor who offers online content via an app store that goes direct to consumer (formally known as B2C, now referred to as D2C). There is always cost to this, but do not assume that a lower priced system or a system you would never think will do this, because there are plenty who do.
