WESTPORT, Conn., Jan. 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- John A. Laurino, CEO of Proposal Software, Inc., was a panelist at the Financial Research Associates "Mastering RFPs and Consultant Databases" Conference held yesterday at The Harvard Club in New York City. The topic of the panel was boosting RFP success by leveraging technological tools.
Said Laurino, "We were delighted to participate in this new initiative by Financial Research Associates. Unlike the typical vendor-to-buyer approach in which presentations are little more than 'brochureware,' this conference included content-rich workshops that compared the full array of technological solutions. Their fresh approach resulted in dynamic sessions that enabled proposal professionals to exchange ideas and explore 'best practices' in a collaborative fashion."
Included among "best practices" in proposal management technological tools was Proposal Software, Inc.'s flagship product, the leading proposal management platform PMAPS(r), Proposal Management and Production System. PMAPS(r) is a comprehensive, "industrial strength" proposal management platform in use by over 100 companies worldwide, including major healthcare, financial services and Fortune 1000-size corporations from Guam to the European continent. An edition specifically engineered for the Legal community has recently been released as well.
A major advantage of PMAPS(r) is its ability to integrate, exchange and coordinate data with a variety of external database formats, particularly CRM platforms and consultant databases. Examples are eASE Exchange, the leading consultant database platform in the financial services arena; LexisNexis' InterAction CRM application, the leading CRM platform for the legal community; and Accent Technologies, the leading PowerPoint driven "pitch book" management platform.
According to John Laurino, Proposal Software, Inc. CEO, PMAPS is the clear front-runner among proposal management software, regardless of industry type.
"We have experienced enormous demand for PMAPS(r) by leading-edge companies who must continually respond to high volumes of RFP's in order to stay competitive," said Laurino. "PMAPS(r) is a powerful tool whose scalability and ease of use makes it the proposal management platform of choice for professional RFP teams of any size."
