Writing a Request for Proposal (RFP) is hard.
Time consuming.
Frustrating.
And it requires expertise. Someone who has done it before, and knows how to do it correctly.
This technology is changing faster than ever.
There are new players in the market.
New capabilities.
New pricing models.
Do you have anyone on staff who has done this before? Was it recent enough to still be relevant?
You know if there are any loopholes, the vendors will try to take advantage of you.
And isn’t your staff already busy? Do they have time to figure all of this out on their own?
