SpringCM Privia Helps Government Contractors Collaborate To Win Contracts
June 10, 2009 — Sterling, VA — Announces new management dashboards, integration with SpringCM ecosystem and flexible licensing options
SpringCM™ Inc, the leader in on-demand document management and workflow, announced today the availability of new licensing options and functionality for Privia, its industry-leading bid and proposal lifecycle management solution. Added to the Privia solution are new management dashboards to enhance visibility into work in progress, flexible licensing to support the dynamics of cross-company teaming on bids and proposals in the government market, integration with the SpringCM Platform, and enhancements in Privia’s collaboration making it easier to access documents via web links.
SpringCM introduces a new dashboard for Privia including high-level graphical summary reports that managers and executives can use to quickly understand the status and trends behind their business. These reports can be customized by individual user – executive, manager or contributor – and progressive drill down capabilities allow users to view details of any item, allowing them to quickly identify problems or exceptions in their capture and proposal organizations so they can be handled early.
SpringCM also introduces Privia Teammate and Privia Passport flexible licensing options. Prime contractors must include teaming partners and subcontractors in their bid process in order to win more business. Teammate licenses allow these partners to be active participants in Privia-based proposal activities during the capture and proposal phases. Teammate licenses provide a limited "outside contributor" capability at a significantly lower annual subscription per seat than an internal full subscriber license. Teammates are subject to the same security rigor and controls that Privia users rely on, but Teammate licenses can be dynamically reassigned to other teammates as needed, further maximizing their benefit to the prime contractor.
Privia Passport subscriptions can be purchased by companies that are acting as subcontractors or teaming partners with a prime contractor that uses Privia. This transportable license can be used with up to 4 prime contractors simultaneously, while Prime organizations still maintain security and access control to the Passport holder through normal administration. This reduces the subscription or licensing costs of Privia for the Prime contractor while increasing value to the subcontractor whose business model relies on teaming with many Prime organizations.
Privia also introduces integration with the SpringCM ECM platform. In doing so, Privia becomes another solution that can exchange content with any other SpringCM content-enabled solution, whether customer developed or available on Solution Central, SpringCM's marketplace for content applications developed by SpringCM or its partners.
"These new additions and flexible pricing options elevate the strategic and economic value of Privia to all companies bidding on Government contracts," said Steve Maier, vice president and general manager of the SpringCM Government Solutions Division. "The new management dashboards provide real time insight into the status of business development activities, while the new licensing models make it possible for any company, no matter how large or small, to team together in the most cost effective manner. The integration with other SpringCM based solutions enables organizations to leverage the SpringCM platform for content solutions that span the entire government contracting lifecycle."
