How it works

You fill in the data after communicating with the vendor(s), entering in as much information as you can. You can do this by a RFP or just by using this template, which I always like to use.

You can add to the template, but it provides key categories.  The template includes the categories and sample information that could be entered. The information is by no means all encompassing.  Rather it is just to provide an example of what you would enter.

Reports what does the number inside the ( ) mean?

  • ReportsIn the parenthesis ( ) – how many do they offer – i.e. that come with the system. These are canned reports.
