A well-crafted, thoroughly defined RFP is the principal instrument for successful procurement of enterprise
systems and software. The RFP should focus on the business needs to be addressed by the acquisition,
and be designed to elicit vendor responses that are specific, complete, and of a consistent format to allow
cross-vendor comparisons. The winning vendor's RFP response can be automatically incorporated into
an organized, detailed contract. RFP preparation tools that allow electronic distribution and results

A well-crafted, thoroughly defined request for proposal (RFP) is the principal instrument for successful
procurement of enterprise systems and software. An RFP should focus on the business needs to be
addressed by the acquisition, and be designed to elicit vendor responses that are specific, complete, and
of a consistent format, to allow cross-vendor comparisons. The winning vendor's RFP response can be
automatically incorporated into an organized, detailed contract. RFP preparation tools that allow electronic
distribution and results processing greatly reduce data entry and analysis time, as well as printing and
distribution costs.
Effective contract management comprises a series of steps.
The first step is to determine the business needs that the technology procurement will address. Next a
company must prepare and distribute a request for proposal (RFP) that articulates those needs. After
evaluating the proposals it receives in response to the RFP and choosing a supplier, the company is
ready to negotiate and write a contract with the supplier. The company must then be prepared to ensure
contract performance, and to re-negotiate the contract when circumstances change. Each step builds on
all the preceding ones. Contract management is most successful when a company approaches each step
with this entire process in mind.
The procurement of enterprise systems and software is a complex process that must be carefully planned
and executed. A well-crafted, thoroughly defined RFP is the principal instrument for success. Those
buyers that develop an effective RFP can reap a significant return on investment (ROI) due to having
meticulously described business requirements for a select group of vendors. The RFP is a critical link
between the buyer and the seller that enables both to work from the same set of requirements, schedules,
and information. The winning vendor is awarded the contract after effectively responding to the RFP’s
