Technology may be used to modify and improve the process of assembling a response. An automated proposal may be generated by storing databases with information regarding experts and their availability. The database may be generated by monitoring other server systems within a network, such as email and instant messaging systems. A method may include identifying topics of interest in a request for proposal; identifying a credible expert based, at least in part, on the identified key topics; accessing time availability of the credible expert; requesting approval from a supervisor for participation by the credible expert, wherein the approval request includes the time availability of the credible expert; and assembling a response to the request for proposal that identifies the credible expert when approval from the supervisor is received.
