How did IBM get the contract for UC Flex Financials?
In 2003, UC issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) for technical and consulting services for the implementation of the mySAP Business Suite Solution for the Financial Systems Replacement Project (now known as UC Flex Financials). In an open-bid process, IBM Business Consulting Services (BCS) and numerous other implementation partners responded. After presentations by the respondents, UC short-listed IBM BCS, and IBM was selected after an evaluation of oral and written submissions by the short-listed companies.
