USIS Selects Privia By SpringCM For Bid & Proposal Management

Privia, a Division of SpringCM, a leader in cloud enterprise content management, announced recently that US Investigations Services, LLC (USIS), the largest commercial provider of background investigation services for the federal government and an Altegrity company, has selected Privia by SpringCM for bid and proposal management initiatives.

USIS chose a solution to improve collaboration and communication across its business development and proposal management teams regardless of location. USIS also needed to assure that staff could easily access and repurpose a full library of proposal content that was housed in numerous shared drives, PCs and in Microsoft SharePoint. The solution also allows the USIS team to quickly access proposal information, maintain document configuration control, and consistently utilize proposal management best practices.

"We need a solution to efficiently manage our entire proposal lifecycle," said Richard Tallman, vice president of business development at USIS. "Additionally, we need to provide our teaming partners with a means to provide proposal input without having to email documents and juggle versions. SpringCM's superb functionality allows us to maximize productivity on each proposal and meet short turn-around times for proposals and task orders."

"Government contractors are facing increased competition for contracts and short deadlines to respond to federal opportunities," said Joe Marino, vice president and general manager of the Privia Division of SpringCM. "Privia's cloud solution allows USIS to effectively manage the government opportunity lifecycle and collaborate with associates and teammates anytime, anywhere. We're pleased that they've selected us for these important business development initiatives."
