Let’s face it – RFI/RFP documents sent over to learning system vendors are massive tomes that confuse, challenge and even baffle some vendors. Then you have RFP/RFIs that lack substance. The fact of the matter is nobody loves creating RFP/RFIs. They can be 25 pages. 50 pages, even 100 pages or more.

Do your research and be judicious with who you engage in the RFP process. Spend time vetting the vendor before you invite them to the RFP party. The RFP process is so complex and time-consuming that having too many mediocre vendors exhausts the situation. Identify few but mighty vendors. Find the money.
