Next, download an RFP template! Yes, there is a proper format for an RFP!

Put in the right keywords in the search engine search bar. For example &#8211; \u2018How to choose the right Moodle service provider\u2019, <strong>\u2018choosing the right moodle service provider\u2019<\/strong> and so on. Pick up the top 5 rankers. Many a times, you would get results from Moodle.com or Moodle.org directly. Skip those and jump onto the next URLs. These are the ones you should consider, given they are ranking for your keyword. And trust us, ranking on search engines isn\u2019t easy. It takes a whole lot of domain expertise and hold on the said topic to beat the search engine race. So, the ones you\u2019d be looking at have already participated and won the search engine battle.

You want <strong>a service provider who has serviced a versatile list of clients<\/strong>, who are in the similar industry as yours. Just one thing here, don\u2019t look out for very big names in their clientele, sometimes the service providers have the best of experts under them, but big names require bigger criterias to fulfill, and hence the smaller to mid level Moodle service providers miss out on bigger names. And that by no means is a marker to not being experienced or not knowing the product or the market. Remember, all that shines isn\u2019t gold every time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;\"><b>4.

Check the experience of their senior management, while checking their grounding in terms of expertise in the field of learning and development. A team that has a sound technical expertise in eLearning (for example &#8211; authoring tools) will be able to cater to your training requirements in a much better way. Check for the mission statement and vision of the company. One that has a <strong>customer-centric approach<\/strong> is the one should try considering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;\"><b>5. Go through their Website Thoroughly<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scan your shortlisted Moodle Service Providers\u2019 website thoroughly. Many a times, it&#8217;s the <strong>organization\u2019s website that can provide a valuable insight into the quality of service<\/strong> they can offer. Have a look into the case studies to understand what sort of projects they\u2019ve undertaken and how they\u2019ve provided a solution to their clients problems. Look at client testimonials if there are any. Have a look at their blog to see the type articles they\u2019ve written. All these will help you understand the Moodle service provider\u2019s capability in handling your needs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;\"><b>6. Ask for Demos, Free Trials<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;\">Seeing is believing! Ask the Moodle Service Providers for demos of Moodle Installation and other nuances like creating a course, uploading course content etc. Ask for free trials of Moodle. All this will <strong>help you judge the service provider on their capabilities to handle project<\/strong>s, assess quality and check if they can meet your needs. Willingness of companies to do this shows their commitment towards providing quality service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Paradiso, we have many years of experience working with Moodle and various other LMS.
