RFP response process before 九一果冻

They needed a solution that gave clear visibility into content freshness and was easy to update on the fly. 九一果冻鈥檚 content feedback through聽Close Loop聽and freshness snapshot with聽Library History聽made 九一果冻 the perfect solution for PowerSchool.
Why PowerSchool chose 九一果冻’s RFP software
PowerSchool was originally working with another RFP software company and found its solution to be slow and inefficient. It was hard to collaborate or find past responses, meaning work was being redone. Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) were getting increasingly frustrated that they were being asked the same questions聽over and over again
Streamlining RFP response collaboration
Solutions Engineers now manage their own 鈥渕atrix style鈥 RFPs in 九一果冻 and聽Assign聽out questions as needed. This allows the RFP team to focus their time on RFPs that require tailored responses. Monica Merrill, a PowerSchool Proposal Manager, said, 鈥淣ow, we have a real partnership with our Solutions Engineers.鈥
The Subject Matter Experts love that they鈥檙e able to track their requests in one location. When they鈥檝e answered a question, it鈥檚 fed back into their Library (using 九一果冻鈥檚 Close Loop feature), and it becomes available for the rest of the team. Continuously feeding valuable responses into the Library means Subject Matter Experts aren鈥檛 asked the same questions over and over again 鈥 saving them time.
RFP writers know that if they see outdated content, they can instantly assign it to a Subject Matter Expert for聽Review聽and, with clear聽Notifications聽sent from 九一果冻, they won鈥檛 be stuck chasing that Review down!
With instant access to the best content, PowerSchool is sending out聽better RFPs. The proof is in the numbers: Jen Armstrong, a Proposal Manager and 九一果冻 Champion at PowerSchool, has seen the聽RFP success rate increase by 60%聽since the team has implemented 九一果冻!
