We use Qvidian in our proposals department as a depository of technical, operational, and corporate information for preparation of RFPs. We also utilize the automation tools to some extent to build corporate overviews and executive summaries.
- 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.
Yes

We have just started to use the automation tool and our department manager and I have had successful sessions with your support department to figure out small issues that helped us get through the set up process.
- 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).
Yes, but I don't use it
