VOIP RFP

by All TemplatesRFP - Request for Proposal

VOIP RFP:

Looking for a VoIP RFP or a Voice over Internet Protocol – Request for Proposal? VoIP systems usually interface with the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) to allow for transparent phone communications worldwide.

VoIP can be a benefit for reducing communication and infrastructure costs by routing phone calls over existing data networks and avoiding duplicate network systems. Skype is an example of a notable service provider having achieved widespread user and customer acceptance in this industry.

Benefits of Using VoIP

VoIP technology uses the Internet’s packet-switching capabilities to provide phone service. Packet switching allows several telephone calls to occupy the amount of space occupied by only one in a circuit-switched network. With VoIP, a 10 minute phone call may only occupy 3.5 minutes of transmission time at a lower cost of 64 Kbps or about half that of conventional systems and this does not factor in data compression which further reduces usage or size of each call.

When to use a RFP versus a RFQ

Using an RFP versus a RFQ:

This is a good question and one we hear often. We will try our best to provide a simple answer to help you make an informed  decision when performing your purchasing duties. This scenario surfaces when you are faced with generating a purchasing document to send to your suppliers.

Documents issued by the Purchasing group can be an RFQ (request for quote), RFI (request for information), RFP (request for proposal), or ITQ (invitation to quote), IFB (invitation for bid) or others.

A RFQ is usually used when the Owner knows exactly the type and quantity of goods it wants to buy while RFP’s ask bidders to provide a solution to a problem that could be solved in different ways.

An example of when to use a Request for Quote (RFQ) would be if you are buying 100 each Toshiba Laptop Computers c/w 2 GB ram, 100 GB HD, DVD Burner, Windows 7. You know your exact requirement and have a specification to include or issue with the request.

An RFP might be used if you were unsure as to whether you want to purchase, lease, rent  those same 100 computers with varying specifications for software and hardware requirements that may differ from PC to PC. This gives the bidders an opportunity to offer a solution to your requirement.

With the above in mind, it should be noted that evaluating a RFQ is usually easier than trying to determine an award from the results of an RFP.
