WESTPORT, Conn., April 12, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Proposal Software, Inc. CEO John A. Laurino today made an important announcement for the legal community. The company's leading edge proposal management software Proposal Management and Production System (PMAPS(r)) is now integrated with the powerful and widely used LexisNexis(r) InterAction(r) client relationship management software.
LexisNexis is a leading provider of CRM software and services that centralize a law firm's collective knowledge, wisdom and experience about clients and contacts in order to formalize their business development processes, while tracking important information about their firm and others.
By synchronizing access to InterAction software with PMAPS(r), the same data organized within InterAction can be directly accessed from within the powerful proposal management platform PMAPS(r). This is critically important to a law firm's proposal teams who must continually respond to RFPs and prepare proposals in order to support the firm's new business objectives. This synchronization also insures the consistency and integrity of data reported by the firm in its proposals, regardless of target.
Said Laurino, "In seeking to enhance PMAPS(r)'s value to the legal community, there was really no contest when looking for a partner with which to integrate PMAPS(r). InterAction is 'best-in-class' in its respective category, similar to the position PMAPS(r) occupies in the proposal management space."
"This insures that we can provide a seamless experience to legal organizations in winning new business from prospects and supporting organic growth from existing clients."
According to John McDonnell, vice president of LexisNexis, "InterAction aggregates data such as client profiles, matters, notes and activities, and transforms this data into the Relationship Intelligence a firm needs to make decisions. By linking InterAction with PMAPS(r), this data can be seamlessly used by proposal management teams responding to RFPs and RFIs, ensuring maximum efficiency as well as data integrity."
"InterAction is the leading CRM solution for law firms," said McDonnell. He pointed out that InterAction is in use by 80 percent of the nation's largest law firms (AmLaw100) and 30 percent of the United Kingdom's top law firms.
According to Laurino, demands upon major law firms to respond to RFPs and RFIs in order to acquire new business are increasing in frequency. At the same time, proposals are becoming more complex. "We continually focus on improving the productivity of our clients in the legal community. Synchronizing PMAPS(r) with InterAction is a major step forward in increasing the value of both of these important new business related software platforms to legal organizations."
