Protect Your BCP Software Investment!
But what if something changes? What if business needs change? A well-designed Request for Proposal (RFP) should do much more than simply ask vendors questions about capabilities and software features, it should also ask questions about the Scalability, Changeability, and Configurability of the proposed software. To protect the investment a large-scale software system represents, it is important to find out how easily a proposed system adapts to a changing world. That is exactly what a Ready-to-Use RFP™ for software does for you.
"What-If" Analysis
At Infotivity we have used our 23+ years experience developing both Custom and Commercial-Off-the-Shelf-Software (COTS) to include RFP questions about a proposed BCP software system's ability to address new issues and change. Examples could be: "What happens if a branch office has mission-critical data in an old legacy database?" or "What if your company decides to recruit resellers, something it has never done before?" or "What if a competitor is purchased by your company - can it's needs be addressed by the proposed system?" Many of the answers to "What-If" questions like these lie in the design of the proposed software. These are all addressed in each Ready-to-Use RFP™, to be sure your software investment is safeguarded.
Enjoy a Smooth BCP Software Implementation
One of the little-known benefits of a well-designed RFP is that the information it collects can be used to efficiently manage the implementation of the selected software using Earned Value Management (EVM) techniques. EVM cross-refernces the cost associated with actually completing the implementation of each specific BCP function or module making up the overall system (the % completed) against the total expense (% funding used), and is an excellent means of measuring vendor performance and the true status of a project. Each Ready-to-Use RFP™ is organized to collect proposal technical and cost data in a manner best suited for use by Earned Value Management techniques.
Quantitatively determine the suitability of proposed business continuity planning (BCP) software systems to the operational needs of your business with a Ready-to-Use RFP™ that inquires about hundreds of BCP software functions using proven information collection techniques. Since each Ready-to-Use RFP™ requires vendors to respond in a special finite format (not open-ended), and is organized to match vendor responses to your actual business procedures, selecting the best BCP software is made faster and more accurate!
