8When is the RFQ date coming up in the future for that specific activity, such as the need for a PMC or an EPC contractor or a specific equipment package or a service or a piece of equipment
8Who are the key contacts to get in touch with to find out more, be it an owner or a PMC or an EPC contractor
8Since all this information is categorized into the software in an orderly manner, it is possible to query the database in all possible ways, from finding out full details on the projects in which a demand for the piece of equipment you are interested in selling is going to come up, to getting a list of validated contacts to call up in a project, to knowing when a particular project will need raw materials to consume.

8There has been a quick change of personnel, and people at the helm in India seem to lack the contacts and experience to swing deals.
8The company has become risk averse after Halliburton lost money in a few key contracts with Cairn India and ONGC.
8A subsequent blacklisting by ONGC did not help either.
8"They would rather err on the side of caution than take the risk of an adverse appraisal or a job loss in case they bid too low," an industry insider said, after the company was found quoting as much as 30% more against its traditional competitor Schlumberger in a recent deal.

When a consortium puts in a bid for a complex tender, there has to be a good understanding among its members on how to keep rates competitive.
8Here is one instance, where in a recently awarded Rs 700 crore offshore contract, the equipment supplier quoted relatively lower rates but the other member of the consortium, which was meant to provide service personnel, ended up quoting what turned out to be a ridiculously high rate.
8There is much heartburn between the two consortium members over the bid, which went to a rival who quoted as much as five times less under the service personnel category.
8But then the service provider in the consortium hit back, saying that even if personnel costs were equalized, the tender could still not have been won.
