QorusDocs

QorusDocs is Awesome!

Kommentare: Really great software supported by a really great organisation.

Vorteile:

The software fully integrates into all of Microsoft's suites which is ideal for collaboration. The ability to use PowerAutomate to customise and make other work easy is just brilliant

Nachteile:

When starting the project, understanding taxonomy and content structures were really hard. But after I had grasped why this is so important and needed to be done, the rest was easy.

New User Review

Vorteile:

Really like the knowledge library features and the ability to manage and access the content for efficient proposal generation within QorusDocs. I also like that it is integrated with MS Office suite...big plus.

Nachteile:

Initial onboarding was difficult and somewhat confusing, but much improved once our Customer Success Manager took over.

Review

Vorteile:

Nachteile:

You can't insert sections of a doc, you have to insert it entirely then delete the unrelevant parts

QorusDocs is a Game Changer!

Kommentare: We are solving almost all of our process holdups with QorusDocs. In addition to increasing efficiencies with the solicitation response process, QorusDocs ensures that we are able to present consistent messaging across our 30 nationwide operating locations. Our experience with implementation was seamless, everyone we have interacted with on the QorusDocs team has been incredibly helpful and personable. We highly recommend QorusDocs!

Vorteile:

Our Business Development Team is young and previously, we had little-to-no processes for creating, updating, and assembling content for responding to solicitations. QorusDocs was precisely the tool we needed to assist with storing our content, ensuring content is updated periodically, and assembling and producing solicitation responses. This program has already increased our efficiencies as a team and will continue to do so as we adopt each of the available product features.

Nachteile:

It's difficult to list our least favorite features about the software - any time there is a feature that doesn't yet exist, our customer success team immediately adds a request to create that particular feature. Any issues with the software are usually addressed and resolved same-day and the customer support team is incredibly helpful.

Content Management, Templating tool, Proposal Management and RFP tool, all in one

Kommentare: Experience with QorusDocs software and the entire Qorus team, from Sales to Implementation to Support, has been stellar. I wish all my vendors were as reliable and responsive than the Qorus team. It is a pleasure to do business with this company, we have expanded our contract by 50% in a year because the field is so enthused with the solution.

Vorteile:

This software integrates seamlessly in everything Microsoft. I recommend this solution for companies who are running on Azure and using all the Microsoft suite as the integration is superb and completely transparent to the end-user. Data is kept on your company's cloud, not hosted by a third party, and maintenance of the content is done on SPO, not online.

Nachteile:

I am extremely happy with this solution and this company at large. Like anything, it has some wrinkles here and there once in the weaves of things but overall very minor details that have either been resolved or are on the list of upgrades to be resolved. If I have to mention one, I would say the inability to use Smart fields in Excel, for now.

Start with Qorus Today!

Kommentare: I am couldn't be happier with our move to Qorus from Qvidian. This will be my preferred system until someone takes it away from me.

Vorteile:

You can build Qorus up to be an all encompassing proposal management hub to include resources, information, reports, templates, and project management tools, all from one place!

Nachteile:

Qorus is missing some of the more common navigational, inline text editing, and drag and drop features most Windows and Mac users are used to, which can make small tasks take longer than needed.

Fly High with Qorus

Kommentare: Using Qorus has speed up the process of proposal writing, having all the content in the repository the person working on the pursuit can just pull the content from the repository with ease and insert on the document, unlike before where one would request for content if they dont have any and wait for the content to be sent.

Vorteile:

The use of smart fields in creating standardised templates, which everyone can use with ease in the organisation.

Nachteile:

When you copy the link to the pursuit using the "Copy URL" on the pursuit, the link copied is the SharePoint link and not the link to the pursuit in Qorus.

Excellent Experience

Kommentare: The ability for multiple users to have open and edit one document simultaneously has saved us countless hours of versioning and editing.

Vorteile:

From implementation to end-users daily use, Qorus was easy to implement, quick to troubleshoot issues, and well received when rolling out to our organization.

Nachteile:

It would be helpful to have a way to combine Q&A items into one document for SME updates. In other words, the auto-generated email has all of the content in one email/document for review/approval, rather than that multiple Q&A documents and therefore multiple Q&A update emails.

Don't Take My QorusBreeze...

Kommentare: Since the bids & sales teams have devolved from a centralised function into regional teams, having access to good, relevant content became more important and critical for new members joining the company. QorusBreeze has helped us to do that and I've seen the quality of bid & proposals content improve significantly. The request for help from the sales teams have reduced as they learn to "self-serve" and client facing documents are getting out the door quicker, with the correct branding and the correct tone, making for a very happy marketing team. The sales guys feel supported and love that.

Vorteile:

Being able to search and insert content directly into bid responses, proposals or presentations was a game changer for us, especially since clients insist on issuing tenders in Excel and QorusBreeze was the only software that could cope with this. Being able to collaborate and work in the same document is a much valued feature and one I know the global bids and sales teams wouldn't want to lose.

Nachteile:

Content control; the reviewers and approvers process sounds like a great idea and one I was initially bought into. The reality for a small and busy bids team is very different, lacking the bodies to dedicate to just content control meant content didn't get approved or reviewed when it should, affecting people's ability to use "unapproved" content. The workflow behind this wasn't easy to change but we did manage to create a "workaround", but now requires a big data cleanse to weed out older or obsolete content.

Qorus create Document and Proposal Management

Kommentare: Good

Vorteile:

The way Qorus developed the product with intelligently and it gives a good result by creating Document and Proposal Management

Nachteile:

Sometimes the expectations are missing .

Top Quality Customer Support!

Kommentare: QorusDocs has streamlined our sales process. Everything the team needs to make a new proposal is standardized and at their fingertips. The software is not hard for the team to use and there was 100% adoption.

Vorteile:

The QorusDocs implementation was great. Our on-boarding team led us through the process and elicited what they needed from us, each step of the way. The ongoing support is amazing. Our dedicated customer support specialist proactively schedules a meeting with us once each month. Work life is busy. It's not easy to dedicate time to solving problems with the technology and automation solutions we use. Having a recurring monthly meeting helps us get the most out of Qorus. With each iteration, we are better utilizing this software. These incremental improvements make for meaningful progress in the way that our Sales team creates and manages the proposal process at Parlance.

Nachteile:

I find it hard to find the time to learn to create new automated templates on my own.

K. Popelas - Barnes & Thornburg

Kommentare: I would said it has been good. I certainly value the relationships I've been able to forge with the folks we've had working with us.

Vorteile:

I think what I like most is the ability we've had, with AKS specifically, to do what we pretty much needed to with it. The Qorus team has worked diligently with us, in my opinion, to meet our needs, questions and concerns to the best of their ability, time and time again.

Nachteile:

There are challenges with the XML, wherein it seems to fail or have issues more often that I think it should. That may be because we're hosted onprem. It causes frustration for sure.

One stop shop for your proposal needs

Kommentare: Overall, this software is a game changer in our organization. I also appreciate that we have a good working relationship with out customer success manager, who we can easily reach out in case we have issues or would like to request for product enhancements.

Vorteile:

I like the collaboration feature the most. As I am part of an organization that has over 60 offices worldwide, it is very important that we get to collaborate on pitches seamlessly. As you know, some pitches have very tight deadlines and it is critical that team members get to work on the pitch document simultaneously. I also like that in one software, we could manage projects, content and collaborate all in one.

Nachteile:

There are some functionalities I would like to see improve like the integration of the project side to the content side. Making it easy to gather new or updated content from recently completed projects.

QorusDocs is a great content management tool!

Kommentare: Qorus makes it easy to search for and insert proposal content. It is also helpful to have templates created through Qorus to help with the proposal management process.

Vorteile:

The ability to use keywords to search for content,

Nachteile:

Currently, we have not been able to use the @ feature when sharing the document with our teams.

Getting the big picture from the data

Vorteile:

The Database View feature is valuable to get a big picture look at the data and make quick fixes to content incorrectly entered data. The ability to export project data to Microsoft Excel to generate reports is also useful.

Nachteile:

The search function often generates results that aren't relevant.

Qorus Review

Kommentare: Overall, I really enjoy using Qorus. I can quickly find information and it's the first place I tell coordinators to go for information.

Vorteile:

I like that I am able to quickly search for proposal content and copy over to my template with out a ton of additional steps. I like that I am to pull ideas from co-workers and make sure I have the latest/most accurate information set by proposal managers.

Nachteile:

The search function sometimes pulls too much information. It would be nice if it was more selective with wording

Qorus Content Hub

Vorteile:

The consolidation of our assets and task management in a centralized hub has made a tremendous difference in our ability to produce proposals and respond to RFPs.

Nachteile:

We haven't tripped across anything permanently problematic. A few minor bugs here and there as with all software, but responsiveness to fixing them has been spot on.

Qorus Breeze

Vorteile:

The interface for Qorus Breeze is very intuitive and user friendly. Finding pieces of content is quick and easy, and the ability to collaborate with team members within documents is a great feature. I also like the Breeze panel you can install within Microsoft Word and Excel to make finding and inserting content into your document much faster.

Nachteile:

It lacks the ability to modify content categories on-demand. I would also like the ability to export content on-demand within the Knowledge Source into a Word or Excel file.

Excellent Application for Collaboration and Metrics for Reporting

Vorteile:

Collaboration is the #1 factor for what I like about this software the most.

Nachteile:

It's sometimes cumbersome with regards to the search functionality

The tool of choice for Sales Content and Bid Management

Kommentare: We needed to control the quality of our content and output to our markets. This tool has helped us in that as well as created several efficiency gains through higher productivity and ability to focus on tailoring our messages.

Vorteile:

Easy to use. Easy to drive adoption across several 100 user-base Responsive service. Controls quality of content and external-facing sales and marketing collateral. Save production time and creates efficiencies.

Nachteile:

The uploading of mass content can be clunky.

Building Better Content

Kommentare: We're still building the database for RFP use, but it is very useful for small quotes, budgetaries, and quick turn proposals.

Vorteile:

Ease of uploading, reviewing, and keeping track of module expiration dates.

Nachteile:

Sometimes there's a delay loading the web pages or opening documents.

QorusDocs Review

Vorteile:

Ability to swiftly create proposals using pre-defined building blocks. This feature helps ensure uniformity in company documents in terms of layout and overall content.

Nachteile:

Users being able to upload files directly from the QorusDocs portal will be good, as opposed to having to go through SharePoint Online.

Solid Content Management Capabilities

Vorteile:

Significantly cut down time (at least 50%) searching for content to populate RFP responses

Nachteile:

Content searches sometimes pull in less relevant results; content features (such as downloading, inserting, etc.) do not always work seamlessly

Quick and easy searching

Kommentare: Saves me lots of time preparing proposals.

Vorteile:

Ability to rapidly locate and preview library content.

Nachteile:

Navigating around all of the rich features and developing best practice has required me to independently run through videos and training. We are a geographically spread team - a deep dive master class with the team might have helped this.

Easy to Use

Vorteile:

The software is extremely user friendly and provides helpful content management tools with sophisticated search features.

Nachteile:

I wish the software could integrate with GCC-mod so we could host our own Sharepoint.
