"When we need to find information on a specific technical topic or product
discussed at a sales conference or training event, we can now use a quick
search to find and download exactly what we need," said Jim Coleman, System
Engineering Project Manager for storage and data management leader NetApp.
"This is critical to our business because Sales sells what Sales knows, and
Altus technology helps our sales channels quickly learn what they need to
know."
"We see strong ongoing demand for Altus vSearch
as companies continue their relentless drive to improve sales force
productivity, even as budgets have declined in the downturn," notes Altus
CEO Ted Cocheu. This comment is echoed by IDC, which notes that even as
corporate revenues have flattened and marketing investment has declined,
investment in sales enablement has remained strong through 2009.
Altus vSearch features support the principles of IDC's Sales Enablement 3.0
study, "A Transformation of Sales Enabled by a Transformation of
Marketing," which provides guidelines to organizations as they seek to
maximize the performance of their sales teams.
