2 thoughts on “Request for Proposals (RFP) – Networking and Mobile Device Management Solutions”

  1. Question regarding the RFP for Emergency Response. In exhibit B of this request, Item A-1, OETC is asking for five years of experience providing a fully hosted application. Is this a deal-breaker? The technology has advanced and their are new players. Is it really your intent to eliminate new players in this space or are you going to just discount points if this requirement is not met?

  2. I have a question about the networking and security RFP. Will you consider services in addition to equipment for this response? For example, a security service, such as firewall that is offered for a monthly cost?
