Sometimes, outsourcing is the best way to complete a project. Hiring a third-party agency for business projects is hardly a new concept. It became popular in 1989 and has had an upward curve till today.
Numerous consulting companies and service providers have established themselves as the best in the field. Around 54% of organizations outsource their projects to third-party agencies and consultants. And 78% of the enterprises have a good impression of their outsourced partners.
But how do organizations and agencies find each other in this competitive market?
How does a business know that an agency is the right choice for its project?
How can the management effectively choose between two agencies and be sure that they made the right decision?
These questions are tough to answer. Some businesses changed multiple agencies before finding the right one for collaborations. But can a business afford to spend resources on trial and error?
Wouldn’t it be rewarding if things worked the first time?
For that to happen, there must be a bridge, a platform that brings businesses and agencies together and allow them to find each other.
unRFP has been developed to serve this purpose on a global scale connecting businesses with technology, design and marketing agencies. Enterprises looking for agencies to outsource projects and agencies searching for more like-minded clients to take up exciting projects can join the platform and meet a whole new set of companies and service providers.
Overview
unRFP was founded by a team of high-level IT professionals with a cumulative experience of more than two and half decades. They have observed the trends in the industry for a long time and decided that the time has come to streamline and bridge the gap between businesses and agencies. With more than half the industry relying on third-party services, it’s become even more essential to find the right agency for the right business need.
