Kicking-off 2013!
Gartner predicts a 4.2% growth in IT investments in 2013, highlighting that enterprise software applications and devices (including tablets and smartphones) will be the most impacted items in terms of IT spending. Forrester shares a similar vision and forecasts a 25% increase in SaaS applications spending.
Improve Ability To Sell “On The Go”
Considering Apple sold more than 15 million iPads in the first year of availability, it’s clear the tablet device is a game changer and buyers now expect to incorporate mobile solutions in all areas. Therefore, the next frontier in sales is harnessing the power of mobile applications to access accurate data/information away from the office and generate profitable price quotes on the fly.
Converting your CRM into a cash machine with a CPQ
I was recently at the Gartner Customer Strategies Summit in London. This event focused on CRM and how to best leverage their platforms. Once again, it was very interesting to see Gartner stress the importance of CPQ to make the most out of a CRM investment.
It’s a fact: CRM is a must-have application today, whether you sell products and/or services, strategic marketing plans or personal pension plans… It’s really the key asset to interact with customers and sales prospects while taking advantage of technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes from marketing to sales to customer service.
Cloudforce London ‘12 – the biggest cloud computing event in Europe!
A few days ago, Cameleon Software was part of Cloudforce London… and as usual, Salesforce.com’s visionary keynote speakers mesmerized both the live and online audience.
The latest Cloudforce event in London was only a few months ago, and in the meantime, the attendance doubled from 7,000 to 14,000! The whole tradeshow was amazing, swarming with businesses eager to learn how to join the social enterprise with cloud technologies.
Here are a few highlights from this ever-growing tradeshow
Join the present times and get mobile!
It is no secret that smartphones and tablets are essential tools in the everyday life of millions of people. According to a 2012 Google/Ipsos report, in the US, the UK and France, 40% of the population owns a smartphone. New devices such as the iPhone and iPad are now full-fledged sales channels, and their users are just as many potential customers.
Beyond the manufacturing boundaries, the future of CPQ
Increasing your overall cart revenue when selling an online insurance policy, reducing churn in the telecommunications industry, and building a quote for a potential client in the middle of nowhere: three different challenges, three different industries, one single solution – A Next Gen Configure Price Quote Solution.
While it is true that configure, price, quote (CPQ) technology was born in the manufacturing industry, today’s CPQ market has evolved and now encompasses other verticals such as the telecommunications, insurance and financial service industries.
