*************************************************
Whether push-button proposal components are achieveable or desirable
depends on what your management means by proposal.
I've worked for several years as a proposal manager, coordinator, and
writer for high-tech companies that contract with the federal government
and state governments.
In this arena, every company has a selection of boilerplate material that
can be customized for each bid. It's absolutely unheard-of to write entire
proposals from scratch.
