Ransone Associates, Inc., set up the Proposals Organized to Win (POW) proposal management methodology and programmed it to run on DOS-based PC computers in 1985. In 1997, they re-hosted the program to run under Microsoft Office Professional 95/97 and renamed it POW95. Then in 2000, with the introduction of MS Office Professional 2000, they updated it to run under that application. Now it also runs under MS Office XP/2003. MS Office 95/98 is no longer supported. As 30-year proposal veterans, the RAI staff members are primarily proposal specialists and secondarily computer programmers, therefore, POW2000 is tuned to be especially helpful to the Proposal Manager and the Proposal Team. The program is focused upon the Proposal Manager—helping to do his or her routine tasks while providing essential hands-on control. POW2000 works for the user—the user doesn't work for the computer.
