What is Expertise Management?
Expertise management matters. Clients are more likely to choose a firm with a demonstrated history of delivering successful outcomes.
Expertise management means critical expertise information is centralized in exactly one place by design. With expertise management, your bid and proposal managers know exactly where to find the critical information they need and can access it in an instant.
This creates a multitude of invaluable efficiencies and business value for the organization, including:
- Winning new business more efficiently and cost-effectively
- Responding to more RFPs faster by generating consistent, on-brand proposals
- Efficiently growing the business by making siloed practice information available company-wide
- Simplifying company experience and making it reusable for complex pitches and proposals
- Automatically generating consistent, brand-friendly proposals and pitches
- Highlighting past and current work for the firm to see, enabling outside sales and cross-selling
