WESTPORT, Conn. and SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 14, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Proposal Software, Inc., The Leader In Proposal Productivity(tm), will be showcasing its innovative Proposal Management and Production System (PMAPS(r)) at the Professional Association for Investment Communications Resources (PAICR) 4th West Coast Conference. This year, the conference will be held in Santa Monica, California, on March 17-18, 2008. Proposal Software, Inc.'s director of financial services, Wendy Cheng-Wong, will be on hand to demonstrate the software and meet with PAICR members who are current PMAPS(r) users.
PMAPS(r) has earned a reputation in the proposal management industry as the "killer app" for companies that must continually respond to a high volume of sophisticated, major account Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Requests for Information (RFIs) in order to maintain their sales momentum.
According to John A. Laurino, Proposal Software, Inc.'s CEO, "For the past 14 years a majority of the global financial services leaders have realized significant workflow efficiencies using PMAPS(r), making it an integral component of the new business process." He added, "We continue to support PAICR's 'best proposal management practices' across its growing membership as many of our customers are PAICR members."
The latest and tenth generation of PMAPS(r) has been enhanced with powerful sales and marketing tools enabling users to integrate, exchange and coordinate data with a variety of external database formats, particularly CRM platforms. Examples are eASE Exchange, the leading consultant database platform in the financial services arena, and the powerful and widely used LexisNexis(r) InterAction(r) client relationship management software used by the legal and financial communities. In addition, the data in PMAPS(r) can be synchronized with most other user software and database platforms including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, XML, SQL, DBF, and ASCII using the internal PMAPS(r) Data Bridge module. These enhancements will be highlighted at the PAICR conference.
