Applications of DocuBurstTM
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.
