The RFI and RFP are the two primary tools you can use to select which vendor from a group is the best one to meet your needs. RFPs are formal documents written to vendors that specifically list what you want and help the vendor provide a specific, binding proposal. And, they can certainly benefit you! Project Overview.

Are there vendors in the e-learning space who lack basic understanding around e-learning? Lastly, if the vendors, organizations and firms whose whole background, expertise and existence is tied to e-learning and they themselves are not fully understanding it, does this bode well for the industry as a whole? IMO, totally).

Just as in 2021, vendors were seeded on two sides – let’s call one side – “A”, and the other side “B” These are seeding not rankings. I always hear from folks saying, well so and so doesn’t have this vendor, but you do, and thus, this and that. TI refers to them as Panorma).

I won’t say who the vendor is, but they are big into adaptive learning and push that as the key for their system. Every item received points.

A repeat, in the sense, that a year ago, the debut battle between these vendors, occurred. It was and still is, one of the most popular posts, and since the systems have changed, it is only fitting to bring about a second battle to compare each vendor to one another. I have seen demos, in-depth, from each vendor multiple times in 2021.

As eLearning vendors race against time to develop and launch their proprietary LXPs; we believe that LXPs will be a major eLearning trend for 2019. With both Google and Apple looking to build solutions that are working on creating awareness about ‘spending less time glued to the screen’, eLearning design is also quite likely to be impacted.

RFPs help buyers get organized, formalize requirements, evaluate vendors logically, create a historical record and show vendors you are serious. It also includes instructions on how and when vendors should submit a response. It may be viewed as irrelevant, too complex or overkill. But there’s another side to the story.

The LMS vendor got away with charging an outrageous amount for their system, with a “deal for them” $48 a seat. Again, a “deal” according to the vendor. There are vendors in the industry who are known to undercut or under bid if you will, their competitors to just win the deal. Seems high right?
