A good Request For Information (RFI) will help your client evaluate potential software development partners in a more time and cost-efficient way. It will also help ensure that the chosen one can deliver the project and understands it’s business goals and requirements.

RFI is usually a replicable 3-to-5 page document that provides an executive summary of what the project to be outsourced is about, along with details on each vendor’s specific capabilities.

Among the good practices to be followed when preparing an RFI are:

  • providing relevant information about the business
  • asking precise questions or stating the needs clearly from the very start of the process
  • gathering information in a formal and structured manner that will enable easy comparisons.
