Only the best will have the potential to participate in the CMS & Portal Benchmark^®. To make sure that only the best and most professional vendors participate, the CMS & Portal Benchmark^® Team have developed a systematic approach for selecting the best systems and vendors:

To be qualified to the receive the main RFI for vendors (in the local or global) category you have to deliver some basic facts about your system and some information about your company. This is done by delivering a written reply to the Mini RFI.

If you are allready nominated to deliver a written reply to the main RFI, and the CMS & Portal Benchmark^® Team have not yet contacted you, please try to contact the responsible in the HQ of your company/organisation to make sure that he/she has not been contacted.

If you have a CMS or Portal that qualifies for the Main Benchmark we'll send you the Main Request For Information to you.

If you have any questions regarding answering the Request for Information don't hesitate to contact us.
