  • 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.

  • Our ability to generate a draft went from days to hours. Hence, our ability to enable a growing Sales Team was supported.
  • Upon implementation, our RFP win rate more than doubled from 15% to over 30%, peaking at times above 50%.
  • We are now able to effectively scale according to the company's growth and go-to-market vision.

  • Increased employee efficiency end-to-end from the RFP writer gathering content to parsing out questions to SMEs and populating responses back into the RFP
  • Made updating of content much more efficient (i.e. we have segmented responses by SMEs and distribute content to them twice annuallly for review)
  • Sales people can search for responses to prospect's questions on their own speeding up the response time and minimzing the proposal writer's involvement and time.

  • Our experience has been largely positive. It's allowed our RFP team to quickly and efficiently produce very professional documents. This has lead to more time being able to speak to the clients needs specifically. We've received lots of positive feedback from clients saying that the RFP looked tailored to them, and not just some content dumped in a binder. That was our goal.

  • In the fast-paced world of Business Development, there are often short deadlines. Without Qvidian, it would be extremely difficult (or impossible) to meet our customers’ deadlines with accurate and current information. It is still a challenge finding good content and keeping it current, but Qvidian allows us to efficiently locate and reuse our content.

  • 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.

  • Compared to the old RFP Machine software we used to use, Qvidian is better in every way. The time savings alone are worth the cost. In our old software, editing 25 records or so would have taken me at least an hour, probably more. With Qvidian, the time spent would only be 15 or 20 minutes if using the single-document editing choice. If I needed to change a lot of meta data using the multi-editing choice, then it would probably take me 30 or 45 minutes, but still much shorter than before.
  • Qvidian's customer service is pretty great overall. Whenever I run into a technical issue, I submit a bug report online, and I'm generally put in touch with a technical support representative in 10 to 15 minutes. From there, they analyze my problem (often through a remote connection to my computer) and are able to either figure out a solution, or mark the problem down as something that needs to be fixed in a future release.

  • The RFP Team is able to complete proposals faster and more accurately, allowing them to expand their capacity and involve the firm in more opportunities.
  • Consultant databases are more fully and accurately populated with qualitative data that is aligned with RFP language, which involves the firm in more searches.
  • Internal Subject Matter Experts have a centralized storage location of their content and are able to update it regularly.

  • It's increased employee efficiency. It makes searching for answers easier and quicker. It also adds workflows and time, but in the end, if you are able to maintain your content, it'll be worthwhile.

  • This database can make it take longer to search for the records that we need, because of it not using a natural word search, and it being constantly out of date due to the time it takes to update. Therefore, it can make us less productive in response times.
