XRSolutions Case Reference

Leading Defense Contractor Increases Efficiency Preparing Proposal Bids

“ TeamCAST is a configuration management dream come true.”
Jim, Proposal Manager
Leading Defense Contractor

The Challenge

The process of managing a proposal in response to an RFP issued by a State, Federal, or Local government is one of the most demanding scenarios a proposal team can encounter. These RFPs are as complex as the systems or solutions they describe. They contain multiple sections and hundreds of requirements. Instructions dictate the importance of each requirement, how the response will be evaluated, how it will be formatted, and where it will be located in the final document or volume. Failure to address with any requirement can result in a non-compliant proposal which will affect the outcome of the award.  

The Solution

XRSolutions provided TeamCAST™ and CentraCAST™ with custom training and consulting to help the directors manage their proposal process from a central location.  They can now control the roles and responsibilities of subject matter experts (SMEs) and track the status of all ongoing projects.  The SMEs benefit with direct access to approved content and timely communication with the administrators, saving time and getting direct credit for their responsibilities.

TeamCAST™ also reduced the overall time it took to create a winning proposal by eliminating repetitive manual tasks and enabling users to perform all necessary actions within a single application.

As a result TeamCAST™ combined with the CentraCAST™ Web System creates a complete solution for opportunity assessment, data capture, strategy development, content authoring, document reviewing, publishing, archiving and reporting. The end result is a cost effective and efficient method for managing bid and proposal efforts.

The Benefits

• Savings over 100 hours on each proposal project.
• Payback on investment after the first project.
• Cost savings of over 12% per proposal project.
• Increase number of proposals for more opportunities.
