Business Requirements Analysis
Problem
A municipal government's Economic Development Commission
received a State grant to develop a website for the purpose of
promoting economic growth and development in the city. The
municipality did not have the technical expertise to develop a
set of requirements and the resulting Request For Proposal
(RFP). In addition, any state-funded projects were required to
be put out to bid to elicit responses from potential vendors. To
compound matters, the grant was due to expire in several days
and a vendor had to be under contract prior to its expiration
for the City to receive the funding.
Solution
Infusion was contracted by the Commission to develop a set of
requirements and write a Request For Proposal. The
turn-around time for the completion of the requirements document
and RFP was less than three days to allow for online posting and
vendor responses before the noted due date. After an accelerated
stakeholder meeting and research on similar municipal websites
were conducted, the RFP was completed by Infusion and turned
over to the Commission for posting.
Result
A qualified vendor was selected from the bids received and the
website is currently under development. With limited input
or direction from the Commission, Infusion was able to develop
the requirements and deliver a completed RFP within an extremely
short timeframe. As a result, the Commission was able to
preserve its funding and will soon have a new website promoting
its activities within the community.
