The problem
Even straightforward RFPs took 60 to 90 hours.
Corelight's team faced a growing volume of complex RFPs. Even straightforward ones took 60 to 90 hours to complete, pulling Sales Engineers and subject matter experts away from mission-critical security work.
The manual approach wasn't scalable, and it slowed down deal momentum.
The solution
Upload an RFP, get source-cited responses in minutes.
With Iris, turnaround times have improved dramatically. Instead of spending hours digging through old documents or chasing SMEs for input, the team now uploads an RFP and receives high-quality, source-cited responses in minutes, ready for rapid review and delivery. What used to take days now takes hours, without sacrificing accuracy, professionalism, or brand consistency.
Iris has also helped new Sales Engineers at Corelight ramp up faster. With an AI-driven, centralized knowledge base that evolves over time, SEs can quickly locate trusted content, respond with confidence, and contribute to RFP efforts early in their onboarding, strengthening the team and speeding up deal execution.
