Herndon, VA – September 9, 2019. Privia, the industry-leading capture and proposal management solution in the government contractor market, is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the Greater Midwest APMP Chapter’s 7th Annual Symposium, in Chicago, Illinois, September 18 and 19, 2019. This year’s theme, “Proposal Rhythm & Blues,” is designed for regional business’s looking to network and fine tune their proposals with tips from top industry performers. The Privia team will be onsite hitting all the right notes with their time-saving and quality-driving capture, content, and proposal management collaboration solution.

The annual Symposium Agenda includes a host of topics foremost on the minds of today’s business and proposal managers, everything from out-of-step teams and lack of collaboration to burnout and career development. Privia President and CEO, Jay McConville, will kick off the afternoon sessions with “Conducting the Proposal Orchestra,” and will demonstrate how integrated, collaborative tools and proven strategies can improve the proposal experience.

“There is a disconnect in today’s bidding cycle,” said Mr. McConville, “between people and content. And it consumes a startling amount of limited time. Collaboration tools built specifically for capture and proposal management help managers conduct their teams and better meter that time.”

At its core, Privia is a file-agnostic, enterprise content management system, serving as the team’s searchable source for reusable information, everything from comprehensive overviews and questions and answers to resumes and past performances. The Privia difference lies in its integrated capture and proposal management tools, including pipeline management, award-winning automated workflow, status reporting, and real-time collaboration.

“Instead of relying on email,” continued Mr. McConville, “information is centralized in a virtual platform, secure, but available online, anywhere, anytime. Information flows automatically between Salesforce® and SugarCRM®, Deltek GovWInIQ® and FedBizOps and Privia. Tasks and calendars are centralized, and automatic notifications keep the team in sync and on deadline. When it comes time to review, teams comment and come to consensus together in the virtual workspace without wasting time merging multiple review documents.”

Privia’s philosophy is simple; capture and proposal management is all about collaboration. Experience shows, the more proposal teams collaborate, the more efficiently they operate for the win.

Come this fall, Privia teams will find it even more efficient to collaborate on reviews with the all new Web Commenting feature. No client is required, which Mac and Chrome users will love, and the user interface works on Smart Phones or Tablets.
