The integration also reduces the burden of manually entering and updating necessary information and offers consistency and accurate tracking across multiple systems. Besides shortlisting potential suppliers based on services offered and cost, they also need to be evaluated against several other critical parameters. Some examples of these parameters are compliance with laws and regulations, capability to protect personally identifiable information and technical standards adopted (e.g. user interface, user exchange standards, data exchange standards). RFPs soliciting the above information ensures competition among suppliers and facilitates efficient evaluation. Buyers should engage with suppliers that automate the process of handling any claims or requests through cloud-based software.
