Many companies work from a longlist towards a shortlist to make the final choice based on the latter. A relevant question is what you require from the vendors, phase by phase. And how much time and energy you yourself will dedicate to it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"services_vertical horizontal_services row\" style=\"background-color: #efefef; padding: 25px; border-radius: 5px; color: #000000;\">\n<p>Presenting all the vendors on the longlist with RFI\u2019s with more than a thousand (!) questions is asking too much. Especially if you decide afterwards that some of them can be erased from the list \u201cbecause they lack references in your sector\u201d.

But who actually profits from such an approach?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>How this process can be improved. First, at a <strong>management level, decide upon the five most important selection criteria. Use these criteria to filter out two vendors and only then start going into depth. In this way you save a lot of time and energy.
