As the Proposal Manager for my company I also take on the role of document manager, consolidating the inputs from the various bid team members. This is a time consuming activity that ought to be susceptible to automation support.

If MS Groove does what is says on the tin, it supports real-time, multi-user updating of a master response document (typically, MS Word). It also supports off-line working with subsequent synchronisation.

If you have experience of using Groove, I would appreciate you sharing it.
Topic: Bid Manager v Proposal Manager

We use "Bid Manager" for the person with overall accountability for the bid (proposal) and this is usually the Account Director. This is to help reinforce the requirement for the Account Manager to be fully engaged in the bid process.

We use "Proposal Manager" for the person (me!) providing planning and control support to the Bid Manager. Note that, given the size of the company, I am the only dedicated bid team member. All our bid projects are based on transient project teams.
