XAIT PORTER – collaborative working for complex RFP, bid and report documents

Porter from XAIT solves a number of really key issues for organisations engaged in the creation and production of complex bids, documents and tenders.

The issues tend to be a combination of the following

Those managing the process lack visibility have little control

• Access to text is too late to review and improve it
• There is no way to easily detect bottle-necks
• There are too many writers on the same article - meaning no one is responsible
  It is impossible to track progress until it is too late

Multiple Teams, Multiple Documents

• Team members work in silos and often duplicate work effort
• Contributors work on different versions of same document
• No visibility in the document writing process, no-one has the complete overview

Documents can look unprofessional

• Documents are not consistent throughout and lack consistent corporate house style
• Contributors have different settings on their computers - managers unaware until it is too late
• Formatting is left to the last minute and looks poor because of a lack of time
• Documents lack a common written style through out making them hard to follow

Approval is cumbersome and ineffective

• Is the correct revision being approved?
• Who wrote, reviewed and changed which content in the document?

Porter provides a unique platform that enables organisation to address these issues.
At Knowledge Navigators we believe that Port provides an outstanding complimentary application to the Kadient platforms we also support. The combination of sales enablement and sales content delivery coupled with the collaboration platform delivered by Porter is extremely potent when you need to improve the effectiveness of you major bids activity.
