CMMS Software Selection

   You might hear that a Request for Proposal is a waste of time, that a knowledgeable vendor will answer questions such as - What should a new computer telephony integration system do? Should legacy systems be integrated or replaced? Not true at all!! How could a vendor answer these questions without first having spent a good deal of time examining your operations? And if they did, how do you know their suggestions aren't biased to their own offerings? A request-for-proposal puts you in control of your own destiny, due to the good project planning made possible with a detailed RFQ/RFP! And if you feel there is not enough time, or need assistance, there are reliable rfp software tools that make it easier!

Clearly defining the boundaries of a new sales force automation or computerized maintance management system, and exactly where and how it will integrate with other systems, procedures, and departments is known as establishing the "project domain" of a new document management system project. Having this up-front will help you select the system best for your immediate and long-term needs, manage the entire project more effectively. Establishing the correct Project Domain is one of the most important benefits of preparing a request for proposal (RFP)!
