Comprehensive Vendor RFI Template for Education Leaders
Customize your own RFI to improve the speed and diligence of tech evaluations
This RFI template will allow education leaders to build a comprehensive understanding of prospective partners and uniformly evaluate the suitability of technology products.
To reduce overall time-to-deployment of purchased applications and SaaS and mitigate risk, IT and procurement groups in education are introducing standardized, comprehensive RFIs early in vendor evaluation. These tools surface contract terms, security provisions, and service considerations that may require further negotiation and provide advance warning of potential exceptions to architecture policies. RFIs also shift the onus to the vendor to prove suitability and security.
