  • Without a single source of truth, the organization had no insight into the overall health of the business, resulting in a highly inconsistent go-to-market process.

  • Salesforce Sales Cloud, along with Salesforce CPQ and several integrations of SAP

  • InsideView to provide additional insights on customer and prospect information

  • Streamlines the lead-to-quote process by eliminating extra systems and manual steps

  • Uses sales and asset data from SAP to provide better insight into existing client relationships for improved interactions and insights
