Writing An E-Learning voip RFP / RFQ

When evaluating a wide range of products and services, companies or organizations that use sometimes a DDP (request for application) / RFQ (Request for Quotation) process. There are some problems regarding the RFP / bidding process, such as the length of time it can take more time, its complexity, and much more. Many companies are used, RFP / tendering process precisely for the reasons given above, and a host of other issues that are not the subjects of this article.

When writing an e-Learning / Learning Management Systems RFP / tender can be a rather difficult task. The job, a good e-Learning RFP / RFQ is compounded because the system of learning management software and solutions for e-learning can in many layers of complexity, especially when they are developed, and in order to meet the needs The organization of information technology as a base.

In your business needs is often difficult. The following recommendations are far from complete, because they are designed to give you ideas and information to help you create an e-learning management system for learning the software RFP / tendering.

1st You and your company must have a thorough review of internal and external assessment of needs, research and planning long before that to write your e-Learning / Learning Management Systems RFP / tendering. A White Paper, I wrote a few years ago, as “e-Learning” good practice “which is available in http://www.syberworks.com/articles/Bestpractices.pdf. It has a section on” the scope of its e -Learning Needs “, and any other information you with information and guidelines for this part of the process.

2 If possible, try to write as part of a team, or at least a colleague, supervisor, or if Wizards to a different set of eyes in the document. DP / applications can usually only a long, complicated, and relevant documents so that someone else may have to do their job, a great success. It’s even better if one or more of the parties of the principle of support for the development of e-Learning / Learning Management Systems RFP / tendering.

3rd A statement on the company, the fund is for the seller and offers potential for companies that provide valuable information. It’s good for your company from its base marketing materials, but not the end. If your e-learning initiative to serve several ministries, could be a good idea, a sort of organizational framework in its RFP / RFQ with a little history to help the gaps in parts of the puzzle.

4 For an overview of the work is for prospective sellers and gives companies the information they need. Sometimes a company to copy and paste the Department of Education goals and targets in the Declaration of work. Although this information is useful to a point, to information of this type show a potential seller of May, of course, in May will receive the proposals do not meet their needs.

The problem is that people tend to broad goals, objectives and tactics in the same category, but in the end what counts are not the same. There is a difference between a set of tactics for a series of objectives in a number of objectives. A group of tactics can the mechanism by which the goal is reached. Money can the objectives to quantify, and the determination of the desired results, a goal or goals.

It is important to remember that an e-learning management system is a learning tool to achieve and / or promotion of a number of different tactics in a training strategy, ideally, should be in accordance with the Companies or objectives. As it is a tool used, and executed in the context of a tactic sure enough information, specifically designed for the convenience of using an e-learning solution with its goals and objectives.

5 Development of a human being to potential sellers within companies is how your system is used by each person in your organization. A breakdown of the technical skills needed for each individual user, including the requirements of the IT systems they use, and the solution must be in e-learning management system technologies for learning.

For example, a director of human resources for the month of May is working with a SIRH (Human Resources Information System) integration with the learning management system. Imagine the kind of platform, version, database technology, the structure of the file, and any other information that is useful for suppliers of the company.

6 Priority for the features and functions in a hierarchy based on the concepts, but needs (Priority 1), I (Priority 2), and many of them have, but it is not necessary (Priority 3), or something in that direction is the proof of the importance to the vendor companies, the proposals of their RFP / tendering.

Be sure to explain the features and functions you need, concise and complete sentences. Features and functions included in the lists of three or four-letter word often in really explain what their needs are and can spend more time going to cost.

7 demands and areas of “RFP / model of the tender” type of information. Some are listed below:

Information on the seller your RFP / RFQ should include a section on information from the provider of information to all contact details, the size of the company, whether publicly or privately, the number of years in business, etc. You also want to ask May, the financial information. *

* It’s important to remember that the company pays for information relevant to your company when assessing a vendor, but they are not an indicator of a company or the lifetime of the product or market strength, particularly in the area of high technology. Venture capital funds or listed companies are often bought and sold to investors restore competitiveness platforms, and for other reasons.

E-Learning / learning systems for the management of the industry are lots of consolidation for many industry analysts and provide this trend continues. For example, in the last twelve months, bought Saba Centra Software and Web CT acquired Slate.

Usually the product / service information in this section should also include information on the proposed system as the date of issue of the version number of users, the number of years of service, server platform, database manager technology, Java-based client, browser compatibility, licensing, maintenance and support, and much more. It is also good to ask how the potential seller of the company differs from its competitors and a list of all URLs that the user names and passwords for the demo version of their products.

Background information on-This section is a potential seller of the company on the list with three or more clients and for a partial list of customers.

8 A place of the future society in retail sales for their proposed solutions. It must detail the product, price, as well as their implementation; platform requirements for registration or hosting requirements, configuration of the test; user load; SIRH data loading, the interfaces between the software applications that need to be developed, acceptance tests; general function, priority 1, 2 and 3 functions and features (as seen in # 6); user hierarchies; location, while the administration and curriculum, management system, tools Copyright System and training, project plan and time frame, maintenance, support and much more.

9 Create a question and answer forecasting company salesman. Question and answer questions about the technology, the system requirements and project implementation time required for implementation, the probationary period for the adoption, or some other kind of issues that are specific to the alien and e-learning solutions / Learning systems for the management of the implementation of the initiative.

Clearly the 10th is the number of copies, formats, deadlines for submission, where the proposal, and the next steps. Make sure that a date, the date on which you choose your list for the next round of evaluation.
