SMARTSALES ANNOUNCES SALES AND INSTALLATIONS
OF FIRST ENTERPRISE VERSIONS OF OUTSMART
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toronto, March 23rd, 2000 ð SmartSales Inc. (CDNX:SA) announced today that the first installations of its Outsmart for Workgroups Enterprise application suite will commence the week of April 4, 2000. This application is the first of three enterprise versions of the Outsmart product line and represents the initial roll out of the enterprise versions. The Outsmart for Workgroups product targets the SME (small and medium sized enterprise) marketplace. This version is specifically designed to meet both the functional needs, and installation ease, required by typical small and medium sized businesses ranging in size of user communities from a few users to a hundred plus users.
"The initial market response to our Outsmart product release has been very positive," said Don Parker, President and CEO. "We have taken orders from all over North America and will be installing these systems in the coming weeks. We have spoken to many prospects and when the majority of them ask for price quotes and potential installation dates, it becomes increasingly clear that we have a unique product offering that meets the needs of a significant number of businesses" added Mr. Parker.
The Outsmart for Workgroups product is both easy-to-install and easy-to-use. "We specifically want to make the entire experience for clients committing to Outsmart an effortless one, from the time of initial investment through implementation and use" said Mr. Parker. Product functionality without ease of installation creates a cost burden and risk for many companies seeking customer relationship management, opportunity management and sales force automation applications. "We recognize that lengthy and complex implementation cycles that disrupt the sales function pose mission critical risks to businesses, no matter what size they are. Most installations of Outsmart for Workgroups can be completed in less than two days, and without the need for lengthy on-site support. This means the client is up and running, and earning a return on their investment within days of installation. This is the client experience that we believe will deliver value," added Mr. Parker.
