created on 2009-08-24

Messing around for the jonontech blog

What your management asked for
What you decided you needed
What your initial RFP asked for
What Global Procurement changed it to
How some leading vendors saw you RFP, so declined to bid
What marketing was already selling
What vendor #1 proposed
What vendor #2 proposed
When the procurement process ended
What you bought, even though price \"wasn\'t the most important factor\"
How the procurement decision was documented
How much you actually got out of the box
What went live for Phase 1 after months of customisation
When you realised you didn\'t have a support contract
What happened to the project after your next management change
