I am working on putting together an RFP to send to prospective Managed Service Providers. I have been looking for a good template for the RFP but have been unable to find one that fits the purpose. Does anyone have a template they love and are willing to share? I'm hoping to send out the RFP by the end of November. Thanks!

https://nvcogct.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/NVCOG-_MSP_RFP_April-8-2022.pdf this is a decent not too big sample one. Should give you a better idea and starting point. As an MSSP ourselves we would really like to know as much of the environment, scope and expectations on SLO/SLAs. Whenever you publish it let me know we would love to submit a proposal!

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time.
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?
