I note this, because this post covers my new Learning Systems RFP Template , which includes the latest NexGen Tier 4 feature sets. Why one RFP instead of specific ones for LXP and LMS? Simply speaking the systems are becoming extremely similar, with only minor differences. This is far better than them receiving a 20 page RFP or 100 page RFP. Vendors who gripe, clearly have never experienced a 10 page or more RFI/RFP (and high page RFPs are common). .

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. The LMS RFP has developed a bad reputation because it is easily misunderstood. Shopping without an RFP may seem faster, easier and less complex, but your selection process will be subjective and loaded with assumptions that increase risk. Clients expect me to help them avoid RFP missteps.

And if you are like me, having outstanding support when it comes to your learning system should equally be of high importance. Yet in both cases, for the most part, the results on the part of learning systems in the past has been mixed. There has never been an accurate number of how many learning system vendors actually have a training department, let alone trainers who provide said training, or customer education. It asks for metrics from the vendor. Metric Time.

You hear a lot of chatter over the last decade about how everyone hates their learning management system. Download one of many free LMS RFP templates, and you can quickly have 1000 “must have” requirements that you will never use – and 3 “nice to have” future requirements. They script realistic use cases of learners in the moments when they need to find and use the system to connect with relevant content. So they send the RFP to too few or too many.

Analytics including “Program Value” – shows the ROI in terms of metrics that you can show. Except for the ROI metrics. Plus, on the metrics side there is way too many metrics for assignments. Page views is a typical metric you see in any LEP/LXP. If I want to identify what types of content by subject that I may need to add or purchase (via other content providers available in the system), this data point of total page views won’t help me.

In the past, when traditional training companies started using legacy LMSs to manage their instructor-led business and migrate some content online, those systems were built either for academic or employee-focused learning programs. They were not designed to support CE needs , so CE providers were forced to make ill-fitting systems work or build their own. Any duplication or manual intervention is a cost that may be reduced or eliminated with a new system.
