Sample RFP that favors DNN 

Does anyone have a sample RFP that favors DNN?

Re: Sample RFP that favors DNN 

Kyle,

That is an interesting request.  We have proposed and implemented DNN based solutions for several clients ranging from pure DNN implementations, custom module development and integration with custom applications.  We are typically responding to requests rather than generating an RFP and most of our new development clients were business users that were unaware of DNN until we brought it forward as a solution.  We did end up changing the format of our functional specifications document to be more DNN friendly and speak in terms of modules better.

If I was trying to create DNN favored RFP that lists out the business requirements I would try to do a little thinking on your end to segrate the functions into DNN's way of thinking.  For example instead of bullet point listing out the functional features you want rather lay them out as a set of modules you want with functional bullets under each modules.

That said, unless you are personally designing the site and just looking for implementors why not keep your RFP very focused on your business needs and just let  your vendors know you want the responses to be centered on DNN?  I might would put in a few lines that indicates responses should break out the estimate by modules and identify which modules would be custom and which would use or existing 3rd party modules.

Good Luck,

Re: Sample RFP that favors DNN 

Thanks for the reply.

To expand on my original post.... My company is the developer for the existing DNN website.  The site is for a municipal government and some of the council members are wanting a "new site".  I'm trying to explain to them all they really need is a new skin and to require all their departments to furnish information for the site.

Another vendor has the ear of one of the council members and has written an RFP that favors them.  They are a "marketing" company and have some fancy sample RFP's.

What I was hoping, is that there might be an RFP that favors DNN available that I could then modify and get used instead of the other RFP.
