Ready to win more business than ever thought possible?

experience hub

Experience management with measurable results that move the needle.

Elegant. Simple. Quick to deploy.

Experience management matters.  It is vital not only in terms of raw time savings and cost efficiencies but is pivotal for professional services firms’ ability to win new business.

 

Marketing, BD, KM bid and proposal managers are burning painful, low value hours of research in the absence of the right technology without adding differentiating value to the output, but rather are over-extending just to meet minimum requirements.

 

With experience management, information is centralized in exactly one place and, by design, means that marketing, BD and KM know that the information they need resides in that exact, single “place”.  Marketing and BD know where to go, and once they get there, that they are accessing information that’s up to date and ready at the touch of a button for an array of business-critical needs.

IKA RFP Video

Before ikaun: responding to RFPs and pitching new clients is insanely time-consuming, files are all over the place and you're not sure which one is most up-to-date. You don't have all the information needed from SMEs or attorneys, and you can't identify bottlenecks in the system, because there is no system to assess.

After ikaun: you're responding to 40% more RFPs every month, and creating world-class pitches at the same time. You're differentiating your firm from the competition and better understanding why you win and why you lose, flanking the competition at every turn. You'll be the firm others fear to compete with because of your polish, speed, and quality.

Meet IKA: ikaun’s innovative gen AI tool that reduces RFP response time by 90%

Imagine an intelligent, super-power-enabled member of the marketing and business develop team that has perfect knowledge of every successful RFP the organization has ever produced, perfect knowledge of the expertise of every single fee earner at the firm, and infinite computing ability to produce outcomes without fail or error.

 

IKA helps marketing and BD teams throughout the entire RFP lifecycle, from down-selecting which RFPs the organization should respond to based on the skillsets of its experts, automatically answers questions of qualifying RFPs, generates consistent, enriched responses in a matter of seconds and provides multiple suggested RFP responses that target a variety of strategic approaches, and more.

Ikaun gives the business development team the power to work autonomously in creating accurate proposals, while still maintaining high-quality pitches and a higher win rate. Client expectations continue to increase, putting more pressure on business development to respond to RFPs faster.

How did we make this calculation?

We’ve seen our clients respond to 10% more RFPs with the same team. This calculation is a simplified version of our more sophisticated model, which yields a more accurate representation of your firm’s RFP efficiency. The values this calculator generates are not a guarantee and are for demonstration purposes only.
