Testimonials

What INPUT members are saying

"I have been using INPUT for years and I cannot imagine doing my job without them. INPUT provides better intelligence for our business and saves me time since I can research several agencies in one place. I usually go to INPUT directly because I can find exactly what I need. Plus, INPUT Member Advisors have been great; they are always there to help."

Judith Schneider, Strategic Alliance Manager, Digicon Corporation

"If you're in a business development role and you don't have INPUT, you're out of luck! As an 8(a) looking for teaming opportunities with prime contractors, I'm expected to have INPUT so I can collaborate with partners in real time using INPUT's information. Without INPUT, I would be at a significant disadvantage. It does a lot of the work for me - it's just so convenient. I rely heavily on what INPUT's researchers say in making my decisions to proceed on potential teaming or bid inquiries."

Marc Derrickson, Vice President, Guident

"We've been using INPUT's Federal Agency and State Government Profiles products for a year and a half and it's been a tremendous plus for business development. For new sales people, these tools help us get them up to speed very quickly. For seasoned sales people, the tools help them address major program initiatives and personnel changes. We can also use the products to see which major primes are holding big contracts and seek them out for potential teaming possibilities."

Vice President, Business Development, Government Acquisitions, Inc.

"We have become very dependent on INPUT's Federal Vendor Profiles. It saves each staff member at least 5 hours a week. In the past, we may have needed to research up to 5 different Web sites for information. We use the profiles to do our homework ahead of time. Potential prime contractors really appreciate it and we go in looking smart."

Carol Sink, Managing Partner, Calibrated Lifecycle Management Services

"Our business developers were very overburdened with administrative work. INPUT's Web Services solution automatically imports the opportunity data that we subscribe to from INPUT into our commercial CRM tool, eliminating the need for manual data entry and dramatically reducing administrative overhead."

William J. Barkovic, Corporate Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, CALIBRE Systems, Inc.
