解説

問 13

Incorrectア
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a mechanism for electronically exchanging transaction data such as ordering and billing between companies in a standardized format. It is not a document for requesting the supply of information, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectイ
A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a quantitative measure used to gauge the degree of achievement of a goal. It is neither a type of document nor something used to request the supply of information from a provider, so it is incorrect.
ウ
正解 The correct answer is choice ウ, RFI. An RFI (Request For Information) is a document used in the early stage of considering the adoption of an IT solution or the like, to ask a provider (vendor) to supply an overview of products and services, application examples, technical information, and so on. This matches exactly the purpose stated in the question, namely requesting application examples and technical information in order to judge whether to adopt it. Based on the information gathered through the RFI, you decide whether to adopt and narrow down the candidates, then move on to procurement.
Incorrectエ
An RFP (Request For Proposal) is a document used at the stage when the procurement policy has been settled, to ask vendors for concrete proposals (system configuration, cost, schedule, etc.). Its purpose differs from an early-stage request to gather examples and technical information in order to judge whether to adopt, so it is incorrect.

ここがポイント

An RFI (Request For Information) is a document used in the early stage of considering adoption, to ask a vendor to supply general information such as application examples and technical information.
The order of the procurement process is RFI (gathering information) -> RFP (requesting concrete proposals); it is important to distinguish the difference between the two in purpose and timing.
