IDP Community launches RFI Engine to save non-market experts 30+ hours in IDP vendor research
(on our own behalf) We at Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Community are pleased to announce the launch of our IDP Vendor RFI Engine. It is built to help non-market experts with the time-consuming task of scouring the market for a suitable IDP solution, while ensuring that they do not overlook any vendors that are relevant to their organization. Based on the company’s requirements and the capabilities of the IDP solution, a list of suitable vendors is created and a score is determined, with 100 being the highest score for the vendor that best matches the company’s requirements. For IDP vendors, the RFI engine provides the opportunity to obtain new leads that match their solution offering. With further iterations of the RFI engine, we will also give IDP vendors the opportunity to create an ideal customer profile (ICP) and automatically carry out an initial pre-qualification. This will allow their sales teams to focus on the most important accounts.
