Privia's collaboration tools make it easy to share information and documents with remote teams. Efficiencies gained with Privia help managers stay focused on developing winning proposals, rather than concentrating on routine tasks. "ManTech has been using Privia since early 2004 to enhance our proposal development process across multiple ManTech organizations and to better connect teaming partners/subcontractors in that process. Now, we want to expand the use of Privia to apply our best practices across the entire ManTech enterprise to further increase our overall proposal productivity and win rates," said ManTech Senior Vice President Bill Baker. "Privia allows online, secure connectivity to all proposal participants, regardless of their location, and facilitates overall proposal management collaboration, including conducting online reviews, which minimizes the need for expensive face-to-face meetings and teleconferences." "The market has clearly identified the need for an easy-to-use proposal management solution that provides a single database of record, with easy and secure access to a distributed team" comments Synchris Vice President of Sales Michael Jakab. "Privia is an ideal platform for the document intensive proposal development process." Privia enables government contractors to increase sales through improved pipeline management and bid response. Privia is delivered with complete Microsoft desktop integration and includes document management, teaming partner connectivity, secure communication with presence detection, configurable workflow, reporting, and comprehensive search capabilities through an easy-to-use interface.
