Education agencies and education technology companies would both like to see high-quality RFP documents and processes that ultimately serve the needs of the school district. However, the process of developing and responding to technology-related Requests for Proposals grows more and more complicated, time-consuming and resource-intensive each year - for everyone involved.

Join this webcast to gain insights and clarity on the RFP/ competitive bidding process. Representatives of publishing companies and educational institutions will discuss findings and recommendations from their Jan. '05 joint guidelines for building and responding to RFP’s / competitive bids.
