Product Overview
ASC Group offers two products, Tabular Format (TF!) and SeeSOR. TF! is used in the pre-award phase of the lifecycle while SeeSOR is used for the post-award phase. SeeSOR can be used as either a desktop version or as a web-based version with SeeSOR.NET. TF! and SeeSOR are integrated so that no data is lost during the entire life-cycle of the contract.

A Real Application, not Spreadsheets or Email
Both TF! and SeeSOR use standard Microsoft technologies. They have built in security, password control, audit trails and reporting. Both the contracting agency and the contractor share the same application.Because there is only one source of truth, any disagreements about what version of the spreadsheet is current, or what emails were actually sent are quickly resolved. Every change to the underlying data in the application is password protected and has a full audit trail. Both TF! and SeeSOR have passed comprehensive government security audits. Most importantly, TF! and SeeSOR offer a reliable platform to improve how organizations award and manage service contracts. Changing business process and organizational structures alone do not guarantee success. TF! and SeeSOR will increase productivity while simultaneously increasing quality of the procurement and program management functions.

SeeSOR.NET and SeeSOR
Quality Management & Monitoring
Collaborative contract monitoring tools for organizations that want to track the performance of their outsourced services or who want to improve their service level agreements.
Monitoring
SeeSOR dramatically reduces the amount of effort required to compile inspection results. More importantly, both the contracting organization and the contractor can immediately determine where corrective action is required and implement changes quickly.Time spent on performance disagreements is minimized. Time and effort are instead spent agreeing on corrective actions.

TF! Contract Modeling
TF! is an integrated contract modeling and bid management tool for clients who wish to create RFP requirements and perform rapid bid evaluations and risk assessments. TF! is a collaborative tool used by both the service recipient and its service providers.

Contract Evaluation and Selection in Weeks not Months
TF! requires that contractors submit technical and price proposals in a consistent format, allowing direct comparison. The evaluation team can quickly see where contractors are proposing innovation or productivity enhancements and generate valuable risk assessments. Use of TF! reduces the time required of evaluation teams from months to weeks, generating both time and cost savings, while also increasing the pool of technical talent available for the evaluation.
