Every day our Federal Government Contractors route documents to other parties for signature and for filling out information. One common need is signing NDAs and Teaming Agreements with partners/subcontractors. Typically, this is done manually using email. eSignature solutions have been around for more than 10 years but they still are not widely adopted. DocuSign is […]
Managing Federal Government Contracts requires a lot of information. Often, GovCon organizations have their contract information spread across a number of sources. This makes it a) difficult to pull it all together and b) very difficult to pull it together in real time to see where things stand. As a result, there is no way […]
Contract Management is a core business activity of Federal Government Contractors. Everything revolves around it. However, when you survey the GovCon market, less than half of GovCon organizations are using formal contract management systems to manage their contract information and the work. Most GovCon organizations get by doing things “manually” using information worker tools like Excel […]

There are some obvious reasons for this. Organizations are at different phases of their lifecycle, they have different approaches, processes and technology, and, […]
GovCon organizations constantly assess the opportunities in their portfolio throughout their life-cycle. They need to perform routine opportunity assessments to evaluate the progress over time. They also need to see where opportunities are across the full portfolio at any point in time. However, these assessments often are not consistent and it is challenging to get […]
In a recent article we described the “noise” problem of proposal development (see Improve RFP Proposal Development Productivity by eliminating the “Noise” of Work). This “noise” is all of the administrative activity and manual work in support of the real work that matters. It is distracting, unproductive, and provides lots of room for errors and […]
Proposal development professionals working on RFPs typically have a very clear understanding of the process of work and what needs to get done. However, instead of being able to focus on the work that matters their days are cluttered (typically 30% at least) with dealing with all of the “noise” that surrounds the work. Noise […]
