Proposal Builder

The virtual document enabled proposal builder application allows the entire proposal team to work on the proposal concurrently with the standard Word authoring tools they currently use. Proposal owners can leverage reusable virtual proposal templates and proposal section task management to implement repeatable proposal development processes.

Features

Controlled concurrent authoring so the entire team can work on the proposal at the same time using the SharePoint check-in / check-out with which they are already familiar.

Integrated task management

Each person knows exactly for which part of the proposal the person is responsible

Proposal owners have visibility into each person’s task status

Use existing tools like Outlook, Excel, Project, or SharePoint web UI to manage tasks

Granular security

Restrict sensitive parts of a proposal to authorized readers or authors

Prevent sub-contractors / vendors from seeing each other’s proprietary information

Granular workflow

Focus reviews only to changed parts of a proposal

Specify reviewers for each part of the proposal, keeping the review session focused and short

Granular version history

See when individual sections of a proposal have changed as well as the overall proposal version history

Easily determine when a particular section was changed and by whom

Easily revert one section to a previous version without losing changes in other sections
