RFP Help

Friday, April 24th, 2009

RFP help is commonly asked for by people like yourself who are required to write an RFP, then review the proposals and select a vendor having never done anything like it before. If you’re inexperienced with the RFP process, the whole thing can be a little daunting. If you’re in need of help with your RFP, the IBCC is here for you.

RFP help from the professional consultants at the IBCC is available for small businesses, non-profits, large enterprises and government organizations alike. It doesn’t matter which type of organization you’re affiliated with, the IBCC can help you navigate the entire RFP process from start to finish.

The RFP help center offers information on how to write your own RFP including RFP sample templates but if you’re looking for more in-depth RFP help, the professionals at the IBCC are experienced and have an understanding of what is needed in order to write an effective RFP . This ensures that your vision for your project is communicated properly to your potential vendor pool. But the RFP help doesn’t end there. Once you receive your proposals back, evaluating the RFPs can be an equally difficult and often scary process. For those who have limited experience with the RPFs, evaluating and judging the proposals is tough because it’s difficult to judge which vendors are most qualified for your project. The evaluation criteria used by the IBCC eliminates the less qualified candidates and clearly identifies the strongest proposal, ensuring that the best possible vendor is chosen for your project.

Help with Website RFPs

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Help with website RFPs.  That’s why we’re here.  The IBCC exists to help small business, enterprise, non-profit and government organizations navigate the difficult process of finding a qualified website development vendor.  With all of the so-called “experts” out there who are all competing for your project, who can you really trust?  How can you be certain of who knows their stuff and who’s just faking it until they make it?  It can be difficult to tell the real professionals from those who are novices.  In an age where computers, web development software and internet access are readily available, more and more newbies are entering the marketplace offering their services, despite their lack of experience.

When you’re asked to assist your organization in the development of a new website, it can be a little daunting, especially if you’re not tech savvy.  After all, if you were an expert in this area, you’d be developing the site for your organization rather than finding someone else to help out.  So if you’re not an expert, how can you be expected to differentiate between those who are and those who aren’t?  Many times, those who are new to the industry know more about how to fake it than they do about web development itself.  That’s why the IBCC created our Website RFP Assistance Program.

If your organization needs help with website RFPs, the IBCC may be the answer to your worries.  The unbiased advice of the IBCC can be trusted becuase all others have a desire to win your RFP.  The IBCC isn’t in the business of developing websites so you can rest easy knowing that we’re on your side.  We exist to help you with your website RFP.  We exist to hold your hand through this process and help you find the very best vendor for your website project.

So what should you know if you need help with your website RFP?

Our consultative services pay for themselves.  Consider the cost of fixing a poorly designed website.  Since more than 96% of all websites have never been read, that translates into billions of dollars wasted on inferior website development.  The odds are against you, when you realize that 96% of all sites have not been read.  And that’s not just a small percentage of websites.  Finding a qualified website vendor can be like finding a needle in a haystack.  That’s why we’re here.  Invest a small amount up front to ensure that you make the right choice.

We’ll help with your website RFP process from writing the proposal, to proposal review, vendor evaluation and even follow up with our comprehensive website audit to make sure that your chosen vendor fulfilled their obligations.  With the IBCC on your side, vendors know that they have to provide the best for you because they can’t slip anything by our professionals.  If you need help with your website RFP, please give us a call today to discuss your site with one of our members.  Call 888-674-0079.

If you’re looking for help with a website RFP, the IBCC may be just what you’ve been looking for.  Many people find themselves in your situation.  Often times, employees are asked by their supervisor to develop an RFP for the new web site.  If you’re like a lot of people, the first thing you did was you headed to Google to see what an RFP was in the first place.  Once you realized that you were supposed to write a request for proposals, you probably began feeling a little overwhelmed and unqualified.  Usually the people asked to write an RFP are not necessarily the ones who understand the ins and outs of web development.  Instead, they’re the just the ones who got the task dumped on in their lap.

RFP Consulting

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

The investment that many organizations make in their websites is significant, at times exceeding $100,000. The assistance that the IBCC provides, assures that your vision for your web development project is communicated effectively to potential vendors through the request for proposal.  But for many, writing the RFP or request for proposals is the easy part.  Once the proposals start to roll in, then the process of selecting the right website developer with the best qualifications begins and if you’re not versed in the technical aspects of website development, that can be a daunting task.

So how do you know you’re making the right decision.  On paper, all of the companies look similar.  They all claim to have the experience to handle the work.  They all have great testimonials and their prices may even be similar.  After receiving dozens of proposals, comparing apples to oranges can be a difficult task. Because no two proposals are the same, the evaluation process often proves to be as tricky as the writing of the RFP itself.

So how can you choose the right one?  It’s difficult.

You’ll probably wind up speaking with many website experts throughout the process but who can you trust? While each of the vendors you interview will undoubtedly offer great advice, only the IBCC can offer completely unbiased advice because the IBCC doesn’t have a dog in the fight, so to speak.  You’ll have piece of mind knowing that the experts at the IBCC are on your side, holding your hand as you make these important decisions for your company.

Website RFP assistance provided by the IBCC was developed to serve small businesses, non-profits, government agencies and NGOs as they begin the daunting process of finding a qualified vendor for their website development project.  But the help doesn’t end after the selection of the vendor.

The IBCC can help from start to finish, even offering an unbiased review of the website after it goes live.  Our unparalelled website review looks at more than 190 different points in a website to determine if it’s meeting its full potential in areas such as initial impressions, marketing, sales, SEO and more.  This 3-part custom audit will reveal the weak areas within the site that can be silent killers while also highlighting the most successful areas of the site so that they can be capitalized upon.

For assistance with your RFP, website vendor selection or post-production website audit, please call the IBCC for more information.   Our toll-free number is 888-674-0079.  Remember, we’re here to help.  Can you afford to make a decision as important as this one, on your own?  If you’re thinking that you may be dealing with a subject that’s a little beyond your comfort zone, then give us a call and we’ll walk you through the process.
