WESTPORT, Conn., Sept. 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Proposal Software, Inc.'s Proposal Management and Production System, PMAPS(r), will be showcased at the Professional Association for Investment Communications Resources (PAICR) 9th Annual Conference, to be held in New York City on September 20-21, 2007. Proposal Software, Inc.'s CEO John A. Laurino and director of financial services Wendy Cheng-Wong will be on hand to demonstrate the software and meet with PAICR members who are current PMAPS(r) users.
PMAPS(r) is a comprehensive, "industrial strength" proposal management platform in use by over 200 companies worldwide. PMAPS(r) is a critical tool for companies that must continually respond to a high volume of sophisticated Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Requests for Information (RFIs) in order to maintain their sales momentum. Originally developed in 1994 for a major Fortune 500 healthcare company where it is still in use, PMAPS(r) is currently used by major healthcare, financial services, legal and Fortune 1000-size industrial corporations from Asia to the European continent.
The latest and tenth generation release of PMAPS(r), containing over 150 productivity improvements from its previous version, enables users to integrate, exchange and coordinate data with a variety of external database formats, particularly CRM platforms. Examples are eASE Exchange, the leading consultant database platform in the financial services arena; LexisNexis' InterAction CRM application, the leading CRM platform within the legal community; and Accent Technologies, the leading PowerPoint-driven "pitch book" management platform. These enhancements will be highlighted at the PAICR conference.
Said Laurino, "PAICR plays an important role within the financial services industry in focusing attention on the critically important business-to-business (B2B) RFP and RFI processes - functions which are mandatory in today's highly complex and regulated environments. By sharing 'best proposal management practices' across their growing membership, PAICR has transformed what was a nightmarish activity into a valued and professional function.
"Since our only job at Proposal Software, Inc. is to make proposal professionals more productive, and so many of our customers are PAICR members, we support the organization in every way we can."
