Designed for busy sales professionals, SalesAdvizor is a
powerful sales analysis tool for sales managers to maximize
performance using Salesforce CRM data
CHICAGO, IL – February 22, 2007.
Business intelligence software provider ADVIZOR
Solutions® today announced that SalesAdvizor™ for the
AppExchange is now available for test drive and deployment
at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange. SalesAdvizor
is
built for sales professionals who use the Salesforce suite
of on-demand CRM applications. SalesAdvizor combines the
power of today’s cutting edge analytic software with an
easy-to-use interface for sales professionals who depend on
salesforce.com to manage their sales pipeline.
“Sales managers need instant answers to their most pressing
pipeline questions,” said Doug Cogswell, president and CEO
of ADVIZOR Solutions. “SalesAdvizor’s click-and-analyze
technology puts the tools for analysis into the hands of
those who are asking the business questions.”
Sales questions such as “Am
I on track for the quarter?”, “Are my high probability deals
big enough?”, and “Which demand creation activities are
driving my best deals?” are analyzed and answered in
seconds. SalesAdvizor
is built around 4 key principles: (1) no setup, (2)
instant answers, (3) online and offline freedom, and (4)
easy sharing of results to others through PowerPoint, Word,
Excel, and PDF.
“Most business intelligence software is cluttered with
complex reports, flashy charts, and complicated analytics,”
says Cogswell. “These products were not designed for serious
analysis or are way too difficult to use – they require an
IT department to support them. SalesAdvizor cuts
through all that with a product for the sales professional.”
SalesAdvizor allows salesforce.com customers to analyze
their data with the click of a mouse. The SalesAdvizor
application is fully integrated with Salesforce and is built
on the Apex platform. SalesAdvizor allows individual sales
managers and business analysts to make important decisions
from data in Salesforce without help from others.
“Salesforce.com customers can visit the AppExchange to find
hundreds of on-demand business applications that they can
easily deploy with just a few clicks,” said Matt Holleran,
vice president, AppExchange partners, salesforce.com.
“SalesAdvizor is a great solution for salesforce.com
customers looking for an easy to use analysis tool to help
them maximize their sales performance.”
SalesAdvizor is built on data visualization and
in-memory-data-management technology acquired by ADVIZOR
Solutions from Bell Labs.
SalesAdvizor is available today at a $499 one time fee per
user – see
