The Main Benefits Of RFP Automation For Collaboration

In trying to win more business and differentiate in the sales cycle, most companies experience many challenges with respect to content. One major difficulty is that they cannot easily collaborate with subject matter experts who are crucial to building credibility and differentiation in sales cycles. The inability to collaborate with subject matter experts leads to frustration and burnout within an organization. Without a RFP automation tool in place, SMEs become fatigued at answering the same questions over and over again.

Ombud’s RFP automation software automates tedious tasks and helps engage content experts where they are needed most. Ombud differentiates from competitors because we offer content-authoring and creation at a granular level.  Our software is also cloud-based, so collaboration is easier and we make it easy for subject matter experts to use and update in real-time.

Key Aspects of Project Collaboration within Ombud:

• Granular Assignments & Commenting: Ownership of specific tasks, sections, or entire documents can be assigned at the user or group level to get collaborators involved while maintaining visibility into their progress. Comments, conversations, and version control are updated in real-time and contained within the document at hand for full transparency. 
• Collaboration Suite: A full collaboration suite means team members across your organization contribute expertise and scale knowledge at the right time in your sales process - no re-inventing the wheel or repetitively relying on subject matter experts. It’s easy for SMEs to engage whether you need them to create, review, or approve content within Ombud.
