Bond Offer Management
A browser-based, portal friendly solution that enables bond sales teams and issuing agencies to:
- Automate existing processes
- Assign and track tasks and milestones via individual and merged team calendars
- Kick-off new bond offerings and email task notifications to participants with one click
- Capture underwriters' proposal documents via drop box
- Share, edit, and control documents from multiple sources in a single secure, audited environment

Anchored by the SiteScape team collaboration platform, Bond Offer Management allows even geographically dispersed governmental entities and stakeholders to collaborate effortlessly in a shared environment. The management of bond offerings is supported by traditional team collaboration tools such as file sharing, threaded discussions, team calendars, tasks, workflow, instant messaging and applications sharing.
Building complex documents within dispersed teams, together with timing the filing of those documents with various issuing agencies, present significant operational and management challenges:
- Calendar consolidation
- Effective communication with internal and external participants
- Document composition by dispersed teams, with version control and audit trails
- Strict tracking of task assignments and milestones
SiteScape's open client (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox) and platform-neutral server provides a secure environment for access to:
- Track pre-sales / sales status of a offering from a top-down perspective using dashboards
- Checkout/check-in documents
- View or edit documents "in place"
- Create, execute and track task assignments for accountability
- View the history of each offering
