Companies are struggling to effectively respond to the rapidly growing volume of information requests that have expanded beyond traditional bids. They're being challenged by knowledge management and siloed org charts that isolate bid and proposal teams, which are driving one of the most strategic, revenue-generating functions in an enterprise. That's why modern orgs need to embrace a new approach — one that unifies teams, centralizes content, and democratizes knowledge.
