Internal Distribution of OJEC Notices
Searching for Notices
|
Approach 1. Direct Notice
Delivery

Everyone pays the notice provider to allow each user to have your own
individual search - often limited to one automated search per day.
Alternatively, ad hoc searches are available, but take enormous amounts
of time and effort on a regular (often daily) basis.
Because each user is dealt with separately, there is no
intelligent information sharing. This can lead to:
 |
Missed
opportunities - two people believe each other will respond;
|
 |
Duplicate
responses - two or more sales professionals respond to the
same notice;
|
 |
Cannot
inform colleagues about opportunities that have been found.
Other unrelated methods are used: memo, email, voicemail, etc. |
It is very expensive way to provide a solution that
does not meet your needs, and most organisations avoid it.

 |
Expensive;
|
 |
Often only 1 automated search
per user;
|
 |
Users don't know if anyone
else is interested in a particular notice;
|
 |
Risk of either no, or multiple
responses;
|
 |
Informing others requires
a memo, email, phone call, voicemail, etc.

 |
Notices are not always filed
within the application - you have to research.

Users have their own search
facility;

Users informed by email (mostly);
