Document automation: This is when real time savings starts. A feature like this will automatically take care of the formatting, layout and numbering of your documents. It also means the document can be built on metadata, so if you were to change or import a content from another document, the metadata would reflect the changes making the document always compliant, and up to date.

Document review: A built in audit and version control allows to record which changes were made, when, and by who, keeping track of all activity.

Information management: Having an open API allows receiving information from other solutions, and giving information back. In addition, the ideal proposal software offers a fully integrated Sales Force application and Microsoft Dynamics.

Information governance: This feature allows to give different levels of access controls and rights to different people involved in the document creation.
