Helping customers write AMQP compliance into their RFPs

[Carol Geyer <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

ODCA has an interesting online form that helps people who are writing RFPs.

http://www.opendatacenteralliance.org/ourwork/proposalengineassistant?option=com_rfptool&task=step1&Itemid=299&solution_type=ENTERPRISE

The form:
a) provides sample RFP verbiage

​b) identifies a list of vendors with products that comply with the

​ ​

specified models

​c) offers to connect the customer with the vendors

Would a variation on this be useful for driving demand for

​AMQP? Could we provide customers with text to ensure their RFPs specify AMQP ​

compliance?

If so, would the vendor referral mechanism be a

​n​

​ ​

alternative to

​the AMQP product directory we've been discussing? For one thing, it would be easier to maintain (we wouldn't be displaying specific product info).

Of course, if customers aren't having trouble including

​ ​

A

​MQP compliance in their RFPs now, then there's no need for something like this.

Just a thought,
Carol
