Due Diligence On-Demand

Having an objective, independent, third-party review the proposals received for an enterprise e-learning initiative is a great idea, especially when the reviewer has previous experience reviewing hundreds of similar proposals. Brandon Hall Research staff have significant experience reviewing RFPs from a wide array of e-learning solution providers, to the point of being able to often predict specific vendor responses and knowing when they are trying to mask missing functionality in the system. We can spot and sort through hidden charges and ambiguous solution proposals, and we can share experiences other e-learning end users have had during the proposal phase.

We regularly collect RFPs and proposals for assessment purposes; however, we do not share these with other clients. We use this information to design our annual questionnaires that compare a wide variety of e-learning technologies, including LMS, LCMS, custom content developers, authoring tools, simulation products and services, virtual classroom software, and knowledge management solutions. We base the information we include in our reports on customer needs as expressed though RFPs. This service allows you to add a Brandon Hall Research staff member to join your proposal evaluation team as a reviewer.

We will also take the burden off of you by creating (or assisting in the creation) of a proposal grading sheet that can be used by all team members to provide a quantitative review of the proposals. In addition, we will serve as an independent auditor, collecting grading responses from team member and tallying and summarizing the information for the team during the selection process.
