Applications of DocuBurst
Request for Proposals (RFPs)
Most companies that respond to RFPs realize how time-consuming it can
be to manually identify actual RFP requirements, organize them, and
separate them from the rest of the RFP text. Typically, many three-ring
binders and "Post-Its" are used. DocuBurst electronically parses
requirements and headings into usable formats that may be transformed
into Requirements-Driven Proposal Outlines, a Work Breakdown Structure
(WBS), or Compliance Matrix. Information critical to your bid may be
scattered among many different sections of an RFP. Through searches
based on keywords, such as shall, will, and must, DocuBurst helps
capture all of the critical information within minutes.
Specification Documents and Statement of Work
(SOW)
Once your company wins a contract, you will most likely receive
Specification Documents or an SOW from the customer. These documents
contain directions for performing tasks to customer satisfaction. They
may also contain deliverables, due dates, and individual requirements
critical to task performance. With DocuBurst, you can quickly determine
exactly what the requirements are and provide outputs to your team for
early organization. The requirements or information extracted may be
used to feed an offline CM tool, requirements tool, or relational
database for management throughout the lifecycle of the project.
Operational Plans
Operational plans are often very large documents, and typically only
small portions are related to your task or exercise. Locating pertinent
information can be a very time-consuming, but a critical task for
understanding your role in the exercise. With DocuBurst, you can
quickly locate all sections or statements that pertain to your exercise
and separate them from the rest of the document.
Reference Documents
Reference documents are just for that purpose: reference when you need
it. These documents are typically packed full of information that is
usually scattered throughout. If you have been tasked to interface a
design to a specific system, you will need to reference the
specification documents for that system. DocuBurst can quickly locate
and extract all information dealing with the specific system so that
you have a comprehensive view of the information available.
