Ignite AIoT - Technology and Resource Acquisition perspective
The acquisition of the required technologies and resources is probably one of the most critical parts for most AIoT projects. Many project leaders - and many procurement departments - don`t have a lot of experience in this space, which is why this part of Ignite AIoT is aiming to provide a structured approach to the problem, in combination with a set of useful templates.
The approach described here covers typical sourcing challenges, introduces the concept of the "Sourcing BOM", helps defining vendor selection criteria, covers the RFP document creation and management, and finally looks at vendor selection.
