Dynamic Content Creator (DCC) is SDA’s new functionality that can be set up to ask users discovery questions that all-at-once automate product configuration, labor hours, proposal content and SOW content based on their answers.
DCC functionality dynamically combines different types of content – including bullets, paragraphs, tables, doc files and images – and pushes it to Microsoft Word outputs such as proposals and statements of work.
Please attend this client workshop so that you can see first-hand what the Dynamic Content Creator is all about. This workshop will have something for everyone, split into two parts…
Part 1: Overview of the Dynamic Content Creator (ideal for all attendees, including upper management and users)
Part 2: How to implement DCC functionality (ideal for SDA admins and those involved in designing SDA solution modules)

The qualification and discovery stages are more than just check boxes in the pre-sales process. If these steps are not done correctly, costly complications may occur in scoping the project and implementation. The lack of a discovery-driven proposal process results in a solution that ultimately falls short of what the customer requires, and a proposal that does not address the customer’s needs and fails to win the deal.
Watch to learn how using a discovery-driven proposal process:
We also introduce our brand-new Dynamic Content Creator functionality that enables you to use discovery question responses to compress and ALL-AT-ONCE AUTOMATE several steps in the pre-sales process, including product configuration, labor configuration, proposal content creation – including a customer-specific executive summary – and statement of work content formulation.
