Does *anyone* have any procurement documents that they can share? Your RFP or RFQ or RFI....or whatever you used to make a decision about which product and which vendor/service provider you were going to go with.<div><br>

If you can share them for their content but you don't want any "personally-identifying information" shared about your institution, I am happy to do some scrubbing. I'd like to come up with a template that people can use. And I'd share it with everyone if I can get some help from those who've gone through it already.</div>

</div>Exactly the same things here (in France) : it's perfectly legal to say<br>
"we have choosen Koha and are looking for a company that can help us<br>
migrating, training,...<br>
It makes RFP much simpler : no need to explain what you need as<br>
features, you just have to say "i'm on ILS-A today, and need someone<br>
that is experienced in migrating from ILS-A to Koha". It can be very<br>
easy & short !<br>
