Or, if you’re a provider, how many times have you laboured over a proposal only to find – on rejection – that it all hinged on a vital piece of information you didn’t have? I’m not suggesting that this is an RFP rulebook; it’s not even a list of recommendations.

Write an RFP - Writing a request for proposal (RFP) really helps you to analyze what exactly you need in an LMS. Starting out by describing everything you want to use the LMS for in an RFP helps to ensure that you take everything into consideration before making a final determination.

A vendor should be able to provide this information, it may take a few days for them to get back to you, but trust me when I say this, knowing how the machine learning was trained is huge. If a vendor declines to provide this information to you, then move on. Vendors who only provide great references. Five years? Six days? .

You can also ask for samples of their work done for other clients and check them out.
