Proposal Software Announces New PMAPS Pricing

June 4, 2004, Westport, CT – Proposal Software today announced revised pricing options for its PMAPS (Proposal Management & Production System) application. We’ve been working on the issue of addressing the needs of smaller proposal shops and have created a ‘single seat’ option we’re calling PMAPS Gold vs. PMAPS Platinum which is our enterprise wide solution.  PMAPS Gold takes the place of PMAPS Lite and acts much more like the ‘shrink wrapped’ proposal products we’re often compared to” said John Laurino, Westport’s CEO. “This allows smaller proposal units access to PMAPS world-class database and searching technology without having to settle for a lesser alternative with a seamless growth migration path to the full enterprise-wide suite of functionality provided in PMAPS Platinum”.

 

PMAPS Platinum ‘Turn Key’ Features at $60,000 include:

  • A perpetual, unlimited user enterprise-wide site license with no ‘per seat’ charges.

  • The full PMAPS ‘Management’ module that exceeds by wide margins the “tracking” in other proposal type applications.

  • The world class PMAPSSearch module…with Google-like searching capabilitiesthat far exceeds any attempt to search ‘key words’ using MS Word.

  • Integrated Report Writer with more than 25 ‘canned’ reports and flexible report formats.

  • Integrated Contact Management module…that can be synchronized with MS Outlook

  • PMAPSRead Only module with ‘unlimited’ user access…that is web/browser (not Word) based

  • PMAPS Smart Assembly module for creating unlimited number of ‘Smart (proposal) Templates’ and ‘print on demand’ documents

  • Integrated Administrator Database Control Panel…with comprehensive user entitlements and preferences

  • Integrated Database Import module from other proposal software applications and MS Word with up to 500 of your existing Q&A documents imported by our systems engineering into a workable PMAPS database

  • ‘Train the Trainer’ training

  • Comprehensive set of manuals (User, Supervisor & Reporting)

 

PMAPS Gold at  $5,000 per user ‘seat’ include:

  • The full PMAPS ‘Management’ set of modules that exceeds by wide margins the “tracking”, database management, and reporting found in other proposal type applications.

  • The world class PMAPS Search module…with Google-like searching capabilitiesthat far exceeds any attempt to search ‘key words’ using MS Word.

  • PMAPS Smart Assembly module for creating unlimited number of proposal ‘Smart Templates’ and ‘print on demand’ documents

 

Main differences between Platinum and Gold Versions of PMAPS:

  • PMAPS Gold is sold on a ‘concurrent’ user license basis.  Customers can choose any number of concurrent user ‘seats’.  This feature permits added flexibility in deploying PMAPS to a wider group of part time users without the need to purchase ‘named user’ seat licenses for every proposal team member.

  • Web-based training using Westport’s customized web meeting portal is substituted for the on-site training and priced separately at $246 per hour. (On-site prices are $2,000 per trainer per day plus expenses)

  • The Web Read Only is sold separately and requires additional licenses per enterprise deployment.

 

Note: User training (on-site or via web meeting portal) and the importation of existing proposal databases and/or proposal documents currently being used to search for answers (beyond the 500 included with the Platinum license) is priced separately
