Faced with increasing competition and shrinking response times, proposal professionals know the value of accuracy and speed in proposal generation. Leveraging The SMA Way, Rohirrim’s AI technology automates the tedious and error-prone tasks of proposal preparation, ensuring that every output aligns precisely with customer requirements and evaluation criteria and providing proposal teams with more time to focus on highlighting value to the customer. This patented capability enables teams to deliver winning proposals faster, with fewer resources and a higher degree of compliance and strategy alignment.

“The future of proposal development is here,” said Steve Aberle, CEO and Founder of Rohirrim. “Through our collaboration with SMA, we are ensuring that RohanRFP users are equipped with the tools, insights, and methodologies necessary to develop proposals that are not only compliant but also strategically aligned with the goals and expectations of their evaluators. Together, we are redefining what it means to deliver a winning proposal.”

Through extensive pre-training on SMA’s comprehensive library, including the methodologies defined in the Essential Guide to Proposal Development and The SMA Way, Rohirrim’s AI technology, alongside a human, can now execute the entirety of the business development and capture process, from Opportunity Analysis, Customer Analysis, Competitive Analysis to defining Discriminators, Baseline Offerings, and Win Strategies. Once this process is completed, users can promote the opportunity to the RohanRFP Proposal Writer, where the system expertly shreds the RFP Instructions, Requirements, and Evaluation Criteria, then creates SMA Way Module Specifications, Story Maps, and Annotated Mock-Ups. Through this process, clients can respond to RFPs with a level of detail and compliance that sets a new industry standard.
