BEAVERTON, Ore., February 12, 2019 – RFPIO, the leader in cloud-based RFP response management software, today announced that Express Scripts, part of Cigna Corporation, a health services leader that delivers personalized solutions to improve healthcare, has selected the RFPIO response management platform as part of a long-term business transformation initiative.
Express Scripts relies on the RFP response process to drive efficiency, with more than 100 active RFPs in play at any given time. The company must also coordinate input from more than 500 individual contributors. Express Scripts sought a comprehensive RFP response management solution that could handle the scale involved and integrate with other enterprise applications.
After a thorough evaluation process, Express Scripts selected RFPIO’s cloud-based RFP response management platform as its enterprise-wide RFP response solution. Among the key factors in the decision were RFPIO’s strong collaboration support, modern user interface and the platform’s overall speed and responsiveness. Also playing an important role in the selection was RFPIO’s head start compared to competitors in making the move to embrace artificial intelligence (AI), which Express Scripts believes will significantly boost productivity over time.
