R3 has adopted the CorasWorks IDIQ Task Order Management solution to expand our offerings to Federal Government Contractors to help them win business. The CorasWorks IDIQ solution is a market leading off-the-shelf solution for managing IDIQs/GWACs and the Task Order process that runs on Microsoft SharePoint. It automates the process of responding to Task Orders including the full process life-cycle, engaging with teaming partners, and, automation of the proposal response work. This solution is targeted to GovCon organizations that have the opportunity and responsibility to drive task order business as a Prime contractor.
This solution fits well with our other solution offerings for GovCon. All of them run on SharePoint and leverage the CorasWorks application platform. For more than 2 years, we have worked with CorasWorks customers implementing the IDIQ solution. The solution is very flexible and has been deployed across a broad range of IDIQ scenarios such as:
- top GovCon Enterprises using it as a multi-vehicle enterprise IDIQ Center
- mid-level organizations with multiple IDIQs and integrated proposal management
- small organizations that have just won their first IDIQ as a prime contractor
A key aspect of the CorasWorks IDIQ solution is its flexibility. The modular design enables us to implement the solution in the different IDIQ scenarios mentioned above. The configuration flexibility allows us to more cost-effectively implement the solution tailored to the specific needs of customers. In addition, its “open” design and robust configuration wizards enables customers to take over the solution to support changes and enhancements on their own.
The current version of the IDIQ Solution is version 3.1 and runs on SharePoint 2010 (all editions including SharePoint Foundation, Server and Enterprise). R3 has pre-integrated the CorasWorks IDIQ solution to work with WinCenter for Capture and Proposal management. Together, these two solutions provide a comprehensive system for winning Federal Government business. They both run on SharePoint and are powered by the CorasWorks application platform.
Existing customers can purchase the IDIQ solution as an incremental add-on to their GovCon environment and leverage their existing CorasWorks-SharePoint platform licenses. Over the next couple of months R3 will be enhancing our IDIQ Task Order offerings in the following ways:
- we will be releasing add-on solutions that enhance and extend the IDIQ solution to work with other business groups across the organization such as Contract/Subcontract Management and Program Management
- we will be adding feature enhancements for special deployment scenarios, such as an opportunity onramp for customers using GovWin IQ and the GovWin Task Order Notification Services
- we will be working with CorasWorks to bring to market the IDIQ solution running on SharePoint 2013 (by the end of calendar 2014)
Whether you are new to IDIQs as a Prime contractor or are looking to replace your existing custom developed system, you now have a flexible, purpose built solution, running on the trusted platform of CorasWorks-SharePoint, that can be provided by R3 who is knowledgeable and committed to the success of GovCon organizations.
