How Review IT project tendering Can Help
1. Requirements Validation and Technical Fit
- Review of functional and non-functional requirements against proposed solutions
- Assessment of solution architecture for compatibility with existing infrastructure (e.g., cloud readiness, on-premise integration)
- Evaluation of technology stack (e.g., programming languages, frameworks, databases) for maintainability and support
2. Integration and Interoperability
- Analysis of API capabilities and middleware compatibility
- Assessment of data exchange formats (e.g., JSON, XML) and integration protocols (e.g., REST, SOAP)
- Review of system dependencies and potential impact on existing services
3. Security and Compliance
- Evaluation of data protection measures (e.g., encryption, access controls)
- Review of compliance with university policies and external regulations (e.g., GDPR, local data privacy laws)
- Assessment of vendor security certifications and incident response protocols
4. Scalability and Performance
- Analysis of system performance benchmarks and load handling capabilities
- Review of scalability options (horizontal/vertical) and future growth support
- Consideration of cloud deployment models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and resource elasticity
5. Vendor Technical Capability and Support
- Review of vendor’s technical expertise, development practices, and support models
- Evaluation of documentation quality, training materials, and onboarding processes
- Assessment of service-level agreements (SLAs) and maintenance commitments
6. Cost and Licensing Structure
- Technical review of licensing models (e.g., per-user, per-institution, open-source)
- Analysis of hidden costs related to customization, integration, or upgrades
- Evaluation of long-term total cost of ownership (TCO)
