RFP Manager Benefits
Making the right decision...
Selecting the wrong vendor could cost you money, time, opportunity
or even worse, your job. RFP Manager gives you the tools
you need to easily evaluate proposals on your own or using
a diverse team of evaluators. RFP Manager gives you the
documentation you need to back up your decision if questions
ever do arise. Make an informed decision using RFP Manager.
Reduce development costs
Developing a comprehensive RFP takes time and money away
from other essential activities. RFP Manager helps reduce
the time required with standardized templates, collaborative
development and by removing technical hurdles. This comprehensive
on-line tool helps you manage the entire life cycle of the
request. RFP Manager's growing library of industry templates
saves you time by providing the framework for your requirements.
You can customize the existing templates or develop new
templates that are specific to your organization.
Collaborate across departments and remote locations
The quality of responses to your RFP often hinges on input
from individuals with expertise in various areas of your
organization. RFP Manager's collaborative development capabilities
allow you to assign security levels, due dates and other
status settings to appropriate persons for each RFP section.
Easily distribute the completed RFP
RFP Manager makes it easy to post the RFP to your organization's
website or to easily distribute it via e-mail. Vendors can
access the information electronically, which eliminates
costly duplication and distribution fees. Vendors can immediately
see any revisions through the secure vendor utility.
Simplify evaluation with RFP Manager's autoscore
Individuals or groups can efficiently evaluate and score
vendor responses. The autoscore tool reduces the time required
to evaluate pre-defined responses to basic questions. Limit
vendor responses to predefined answers or to custom responses
for more complex questions including document attachments.
Reduce paperwork with the vendor response utility
Encouraging vendors to respond on-line using the vendor
response utility will help reduce the piles of paperwork
often received from your vendors. Minimize marketing literature
and get the answers you need to make an educated decision.
Reduce the Selection Period with RFP Manager's scorecards
and reports
RFP Manager provides detailed scorecards and additional
reports that make vendor comparisons easy. Set up Individual
RFP sections with minimum point requirements to quickly
eliminate vendors that do not meet required criteria. Vendor
scorecards provide a clear view of a vendor's strengths
and weaknesses. Use RFP Manager to quickly create your short-list
of qualified vendors.
Minimize Disputes and Problems with RFP Manager
Creating a framework that helps ensure all vendors are treated
equally helps to eliminate costly vendor disputes. Create
the documentation you need to enforce your decisions. Responding
vendors are given the capability to ask questions and have
their answers shared in RFP Manager's question & answer
forum, which minimizes confusion.
RFP Manager is designed to simplify what is typically a
costly, complicated and paper driven process that often
does not provide the information you need in a timely manner.
