Qvidian is mainly used by our marketing team, although our legal/compliance team has touched upon it too. The purpose of purchasing Qvidian was from both an efficiency and a legality standpoint; to 1) streamline our RFI process, and 2) to have a consolidated system to house standard, legally-approved responses to commonly asked questions. The latter was particularly important, as it helps us ensure we are being consistent in the way we respond to questions by drawing upon the Qvidian Library, which can be reviewed and updated periodically by our legal team.

My department uses Qvidian for help with our proposal generation. The library is a great central place to house our records and keep them up-to-date. All of our licensed users are able to access these text records for their documents. We also use the projects feature to pull certain records together into a full document.

Qvidian is used to store our RFP responses. It is mainly used only by me. The main issue is keeping answers updated. I end up putting the same question in with a new version of the answer.

Qvidian is used by our business development department to create proposals in response to RFPs. Qvidian enables content that is regularly requested/used to respond to RFPs, to be organized in a way that is easy to find. This information can be easily updated as needed and when used consistently by the team, ensures that everyone is pulling the same content that is to be used in each response. This includes updating our statistics, facts, branding, formats, etc. It is a centralized location for the base (boilerplate) of our proposal content to be kept and maintained for all to access.

- One location for all proposal content to ensure that we are using the most relevant content and easy management of content
- Proposal Automation can create a semi-custom proposal in less than thirty minutes, saving time
- Easy and fast searching capabilities to find content and answers for tender questions

In my previous role I was part of a team of people who worked on responding to RFPs and RFQs for the company. We used Qvidian to store proposal question and answer documents we received from the customer as well as using the Library as our database to store previous answers to RFP and RFQ questions and other product information.
