Bid Management

The evolution of bids can be summed up as: more crucial, more complex, more of them. The competition in telecommunications, and the complexity of competitors’ offerings, has been intensifying for more than 20 years and that trend is accelerating with the blurring of conventional boundaries between IT and Telecommunications. Bids are inevitable team activities; a more complex bid involves a bigger team with more specialists. That said, as corporate downsizing and re-organization occurs, team members are less likely to be located in the same place. As a result, large, complex documents must be assembled, discussed and finalized remotely. In the closing stages of a bid, this may need to be done very quickly.

Open Text helps you address these challenges with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for bid management which can provide collaborative team spaces, ready-made for bid projects, with the correct security levels easily applied through role-based permissions. In this way, workspaces can be created and individual team members co-opted almost instantly. With standardized workspaces, individuals will be instantly familiar with the look and feel and filing structures as they move from bid to bid.
