- Creating an automated reactive proposal can be done in minutes vs a day or more; at least a baseline to work from.
- I lost a document the other day that i was working on externally from Qvidian; I learned a lesson and put it into Qvidian and was able to recapture my lost responses in 4 hours vs 8.
- Responding to RFPs and RFP type questions (general company information)
- Automated document creation was a big focus in prior years. It is very effective.
- Tracking the management of RFPs from inception to completion
- Document automation is very effective allowing common templates to be used with up to date information
- We dabbled in integration with Salesforce. It is very effective in pulling/pushing information across platforms and tying automated docs to a customer in SF.
- Using it to store knowledge, report on the usefulness of the knowledge: how many times used; times since last use; date/time created and/or updated. This is very effective to understand common questions being asked.
- Tying it more to new powerpoints and word docs across business units
- Putting more of our product set into the library for common FAQs

- Don't know
- Setting up your library knowledge base is very easy to do. It requires up front planning, but effective
- It is easy to re-tune your library and move things around
- Its valuable to store templates here and support reusability
- Getting used to the automation pieces require patience and willingness to train or read up on following the steps
- It is a job that should have someone devoted to setting it up to get the most out of it
Qvidian from a simple user perspective.
- Easy to organize the content library and move things around.
- Ability to put expiration dates on content that needs to be reviewed.
- Automation tool is helpful and if used correctly, will save time and formatting issues.
- Developing an automation template is difficult because of issues of formatting with word and making sure your files are coded right so they pull in.
- When you have an update, we don't always realize it until some of the functions aren't working correctly.
- We have to make an effort to add content because of the preparation it takes (using the right formatting template). We do annual reviews of each section, but I know I have to make time to enter new or update information.
- Positive impact on efficiency when we all use it right.
- Increased ability to assist the sales and project management teams we work with because we can pull content and develop our response drafts quickly, saving them time.
- Entering and Editing Content in Qvidian
- Building the library folders and changing them whenever you need to
- The favorites option is awesome!
- Keeping up with the updates so the system works correctly and changing the internet security settings can be a pain.
- Automation tool is great, but takes a lot of time to format and build the template (and lots of training).
