Examples of RFPs IT Related
The Course Project for MGMT408 is composed of 2 parts. The first part is about analyzing existing RFP solicitation structures to use as a model for the student to develop Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation, in this way allowing the students to familiarize themselves with the outsourcing processes and specifically with the contract management process. The second part is to create an RFP solicitation that is IT related. Students will use what they researched and analyzed from Part 1 A and B to create an RFP IT solicitation.
