Proposals Overview

Use Vision Proposals to create custom proposals as well as standard SF254, SF255, and SF330 proposals for government contracts.

The employees who work on the proposal can easily work as a team. Because all of your offices can access the data in the Info Center, each employee can quickly find and get employee and consultant resumes, project experience, graphics files, firm profiles, and narrative text. All of your firm's proposals are in the Vision database. You can use queries to find the applicable employee and project records quickly.

Each proposal that you create in Vision requires a merge template, which provides the programming that determines the proposal's page layout and formatting and the Info Center data to retrieve.

Proposals comes installed with a set of default merge templates (Microsoft Word .rtf files) for the SF254, SF255, and SF330 proposals. Additionally, you can create a different set of merge templates for producing these proposals.

The Custom Proposals application comes with sample merge templates created with Adobe InDesign (.indt files) and Microsoft Word (.rtf files). You can modify copies of the sample files to create custom templates.
