The primary objective of this RFP is to select a new technology solution for FCC to meet our planning, budgeting, and forecasting needs.
We need to incorporate a solution that not only meets today’s needs but is flexible enough to enable us to grow and adapt to changes in agriculture or our business for future strategic decisions.
