Mr. Norman Eyolfson reports
SmartSales has already secured 10 early adopter clients for its Outsmart
for Workgroups since full commercial rollout of the product in July, 2000.
Outsmart for Workgroups is a unique CRM product offering specifically
designed for the needs of the small- and medium-size enterprise (SME)
market and is clearly demonstrating in real life, real time what the pilot
and beta testing indicated the software could do for sales organizations.
"We looked at a number of options that were available to us in the
marketplace," said Bill Warren, director of information technology at
Strathcona Paper. "The choice was clear. The software was user-friendly
with the functionality that we need with the additional bonus of easy
technical installation and configuration to our internal systems. Outsmart
leads the pack."
"We have spent the last year perfecting and testing our new Outsmart
product and have now rolled it out to the first segment of the core
marketplace for Outsmart for Workgroups," said SmartSales president and
chief executive officer, Don Parker, in a statement today. "These first
clients are very representative of the SME marketplace which numbers more
than one million, in North America alone. Outsmart is clearly resonating
with this target group.
"One of the key benefits of the Outsmart software to these customers is its
exceptional ease of use and the minimal amount of downtime its installation
requires. Couple this with providing functionality to satisfy even the most
demanding of sales departments, we are confident that we have brought to
the marketplace a product that meets these high expectations," Mr. Parker
went on to say.
By developing a product which does not require either extensive
customization or downtime to implement, SmartSales has created a practical
solution for literally tens of thousands of SME organizations.
"We are currently working on a number of key early adopter accounts for the
Outsmart Enterprise version and fully expect a response from that market
segment that will equal the enthusiasm demonstrated by the SME product,"
added Mr. Parker. |
