Throughout the last month, I’ve reviewed 12 RFP responses for 3 different LMS business scenarios: association learning, commercial training and corporate channel/customer education. These buying organizations are working with us as LMS selection consultants to define their learning technology requirements, identify the best vendor options and then conduct a formal proposal-based buying process.
In each case, we asked vendors for pricing tailored to the client’s unique usage patterns. Our goal was to compare bids on an apples-to-apples basis. However, the proposals were inconsistent in all respects — format, approach, assumptions and license model. No surprise. It’s always that way.
