Request for Proposal, or Request for Partner?

As a digital agency, we’ve responded to our fair share of RFPs over the years. Some are well thought out and others… not so much. Previously, we've shared our reflections on the RFP process, offering some specific suggestions for how to make it more valuable for everyone. But another way companies can make the RFP process better is to ask themselves: are we looking for a vendor to complete a one-time job, or are we looking for a partner to provide solutions now and guidance into the future?

Rodney Kinn of Hanson Inc. explains why sometimes a Request for Partner results in greater benefits than a Request for Proposal.

The Evolution of Web Hosting

Hanson often provides hosting recommendations, solutions and services to our clients. Like most technologies we deal with, this is a rapidly evolving part of web development. The hosting options available today would appear alien to developers and system engineers from only a few years ago. So for those interested in a little technology time travel, I present: the evolution of web hosting.

Steve Bumbaugh of Hanson Inc. presents the evolution of web hosting, from workstations (Hostopithecus) to cloud computing (Hamazon Sapiens) and beyond.

On Collaboration and Recognition: Intranet Best Practices, Part 3

In part one of this blog series, we established how intranets standardize work processes and connect employees to others who can help them do their jobs. In part two, we looked at some of the best search, personalization, communications, training and support features of effective intranets. Yet another prime feature of great intranets is the opportunity for collaboration and recognition.

Mike Osswald, VP for Experience Innovation at Hanson Inc., continues his series on intranet best practices with a look at collaboration and recognition.
