Other businesses and government agencies will typically send companies an RFI to get more information about their services in relation to how those services can meet their needs. When working as a software engineer, you become a subject matter expert on the software you have developed, and you will be required to provide technical information for the RFI. For this discussion, explain what you would include in an RFI focusing on the key contributions you would make as a software developer. Use the following resources to help you craft your initial post:

• How to maximize vendor response and value gained from RFIs
• Software Development ProposalShould You Respond?

Note: You are not expected to comment on format or templates, or to create an example RFI. This discussion is focused more on the technical expertise and value you would bring in your role as software developer. Review the guidelines for Final Project II for a look at the important skills.
