When a government agency releases a solicitation, you can sense the impending workload for proposal professionals. The first leg in that process is the critical but time-consuming step of creating a Compliance Matrix. This step alone can take hours if not days.

VisibleThread and Deltek have formed a partnership that will shave hours of work out of the tedious process of creating a first pass Compliance Matrix.

As part of this new partnership, Deltek and VisibleThread will bring to market a new feature for professionals who use Deltek’s GovWin IQ solutions. This new capability automates the initial scan of requirements directly from issued documents and generates a ‘starter’ Compliance Matrix capturing the explicit government requirements.

Join Deltek and VisibleThread in this webinar to learn:

  • Why Compliance Matrix documents are an essential part of your capture and proposal efforts and help you
    • Qualify an opportunity and determine your gaps vs. the requirements
    • Jump start the process of preparing a Compliance Matrix by extracting in seconds the essential requirements from the government’s solicitation documents
  • How Deltek and VisibleThread’s new partnership can help jump start the process of creating a Compliance Matrix
  • To see the results of scanning a sample of recent solicitations ranging from RFPs to Task Orders
  • How VisibleThread solutions can help companies improve the quality of their proposals and drive efficiency in the proposal review process.
