Personally, I don't like software taking control of my documents. I like to control the content and not plug values into forms. I guess this software will have appeal to businesses that do not want to hire writers, but I imagine that the end result of the document created by software will be a document that still needs a writer, although the company boasts that an SME can use the software and produce a proposal. It can be "assigned an internal author/owner (a.k.a. Subject Matter Expert (SME))."

What's really funny is that they show screenshots of the interface for producing the proposal and state the software "includes a series of 'packaged reports' (shown to the right)" but there no samples of the proposals or reports. The reports "shown to the right" are buttons in the interface and not report samples. If the product is really good, then they would show samples of the output.

Didn't like the site. So much sizzle I couldn't find any steak to
evaluate.
