The market for proposal writing software is saturated with "convince them that you are the best" templates. The templates are designed for commercial proposals and are ineffective for federal proposals.
The Proposal Architect is a new, proprietary product designed specifically for federal proposals. It will increase your federal win rate and reduce your proposal writing costs at the same time.
The Proposal Architect will:
- Assist you in winning more contracts
- Make your proposed solutions more compelling
- Save person weeks of writing effort
- Reduce proposal writing time
Proposal writing is both an art and a science. The Proposal Architect uses an intuitive interface, outlines, templates, and guidelines to quickly and efficiently create an outline of the response that includes all the elements necessary for effective writing. These features save significant amounts of proposal writing time and effort. It also addresses the most difficult aspect of proposal development: writing the technical approach. This frequently involves several subject matter specialists who aren't good writers, are billable and not readily available, and abhor involvement in a proposal effort. The Proposal Architect uses a writing guidelines approach to developing a technical solution to a customer's problem. An extensive set of suggestive questions are available for inclusion into the outline to help technical writers tackle:
- The interrelationship of task and subtasks in the technical approach
- What topics need to be covered
- Where they need to be covered in the task/subtask hierarchy
- At what level of detail they need to be covered
The guideline-driven approach to developing a detailed technical approach outline complements techniques like story boards for adding content to the outline.
The Proposal Architect uses model text to assist proposal writers in generating a Management Plan. Models for the following Management Plan sections are provided, totaling over 40 pages of model text.
Contract Organization and Management
Contract Management Policies
Subcontractor Management and Relationships
Corporate Support/Project Management Office
Project Management System
Staffing Plan
Quality Assurance Plan
Risk Management
Transition Plan
Human Resources Plan
Information Security Plan
Physical Security Plan
Safety Plan
