Enhancing relationship intelligence of law firms
Today it is critical for large law firms to continually respond to RFPs to achieve the firm's new business targets. Secondly, proposals are becoming more complicated in nature. Market realities coupled with a desire to serve the client better are forcing the law firms to transform their proposal management departments. They are becoming more tech-savvy.
Presently, many large law firms use CRM software InterAction. InterAction assists the law firms in collecting comprehensive client data. Additionally, the software also helps the firm in its decision taking process by transforming this data into the Relationship Intelligence.
Proposal Software, Inc. has recently come out with software that adds value to InterAction through the process of synchronization.
The integration of both software platforms enables Proposal's Proposal Management and Production System (PMAPS) to directly access the data organized by InterAction. It ensures more competency, uniformity, and reliability of the collected data regardless of target.
