解説
問 8
Incorrectア
An overview of the current system is something the client (itself) already knows; rather, it is information the client should provide to the vendors. It is not the kind of thing you would ask the vendors to submit.
Incorrectイ
The aim of rebuilding the system is the client's own objective and intention; it is information the client conveys to the vendors, not something to have the vendors submit.
Incorrectウ
The requirements demanded of the new system are content that the client defines and presents (the client sets them out in the later RFP or requirements definition). They are not information to ask the vendors to submit.
- エ
正解 An RFI (Request For Information) is a document that the client sends to vendors in order to gather information about what technologies, products, and services exist in the market when planning to build a system. In this question, the client asks each vendor to submit its vision of how the new system could be realized, so what should also be requested is “information that the vendors hold and that the client wants to know”. Option エ, “applicable technologies and their trends”, is exactly the knowledge of the latest technologies that each vendor possesses; by collecting it together with the vision of realization, the client can grasp the technology trends suited to its own company. Therefore, the appropriate information to request for simultaneous submission is エ.
ここがポイント
- An RFI (Request For Information) is a document with which the client gathers information such as technologies and products from vendors. What is requested is information the vendors hold (for example, applicable technologies and their trends).
- The overview of the current system, the aim of rebuilding, and the requirements are all information that the client holds and defines and then presents to the vendors. The key point is not to mistake the direction in which information is requested (client ← vendor). Also be sure to distinguish an RFI from an RFP, which asks for proposals.
