FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 04 APRIL 2001 Contact: PAGEBID AND ARMA TEAM UP ON RFP TOOLS PACKAGE Partnership promises to enhance document technologies purchases for Bay Area records managers San Francisco, CA - PageBid, the leading online resource for document technologies purchases, and the San Francisco Bay Area chapters of ARMA (the Association of Records Managers and Administrators) today unveiled the PageBid Request for Proposal (RFP) tools on the ARMA Web site. The RFP tools, available at www.arma-sfbay.org, are customized versions of PageBid's popular features that allow buyers of services such as imaging, coding, and archiving to better manage the purchasing process. By teaming with PageBid, ARMA has enhanced the value of membership for its members in the San Francisco Bay Area. With the tools, ARMA members now have the one-stop ability to estimate the cost of a document technologies project, research prospective providers, and post RFPs to solicit quotes from qualified providers. The added attraction of the RFP tools is expected to increase the number of members who utilize the ARMA site. "We feel that PageBid and ARMA are a great match," said PageBid CEO Tim Myles. "ARMA's members are just the sort of industry professionals in need of our service. They work in document intensive environments, and are often frustrated by the complexity and time-consuming nature of outsourcing a project such as imaging or archiving a document collection." The PageBid RFP tools include the Ball Park Estimator, Provider Directory, and Post RFP features. The Ball Park Estimator is designed to provide a rough idea of what a project might cost before submitting a RFP. With over 900 listings, the Provider Directory gives prospective purchasers the ability to research a wide array of providers across the country based on location and services offered. Post a RFP is the online procurement tool that allows a purchaser to seek quotes from multiple providers. The process is automated in terms of provider identification, RFP distribution, and proposal summarization. PageBid will also follow up and analyze the proposals and prepare to manage Q&A sessions for clarification or reference checks on a prospective provider. ABOUT PAGEBID ABOUT ARMA
