Martech — Tue., Aug. 31, 2021

Choosing a digital asset management (DAM) solution from a sea of vendors can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. You can clarify the chaos with a simple request for proposal (RFP) process. An RFP process takes time and resources, and involves nine important steps. To start, it's important to distinguish your RFP from an RFI or an RFQ. Your RFP should focus on how the software meets your organisation's requirements and challenges. Use best-practices and a helpful RFP template to make sure you gather the right information.

Reach out to internal partners to make sure you have all scenarios outlined holistically and accurately. Consider future scenarios and research reviews from Gartner, Forrester, G2 Crowd and Capterra. Your RFP process will take a minimum of eight weeks, and you'll need to plan for change management once the vendor is selected. To help with the process, download the DAM Evaluation Toolkit for templates, tips and exercises.
