"I have end-to-end experience in this area as I have worked on both sides of third party purchases. I have worked for companies that offer solutions and I have worked for enterprises that purchase them.
I have authored RFI, RFP, and RFQ documents and answered them, I have negotiated contracts from both perspectives, I have managed implementations, and I have managed support and ongoing service activities."
