Of course, there are a few inescapable challenges of the RFP process:  It requires lots of time and resources. Replatforming is not an easy task, so don’t expect the process to happen overnight. And don’t rush it — make sure that you draft your RFP carefully and take your time evaluating each vendor. Creating an RFP does not guarantee the best proposals from vendors. Not all submissions will meet your expectations, which is why it’s important to invite enough vendors and ask the right questions. Engaging and aligning stakeholders on the same goals can be challenging, especially if there are lots of conflicting opinions. Make sure you’re communicating with the most valuable stakeholders, and start gathering their feedback early in the RFP process.
