SpringCM Announces Contract Accelerator And Proposal Accelerator For Salesforce.com
Combined On-Demand Solution Helps Manage Key Sales Processes, Reduce Time to Close and Increase Management Visibility
Chicago - SpringCM, the leader in on-demand content management solutions, announced SpringCM for Salesforce.com, available through AppExchange. The combined solution integrates the leading on-demand document management platform with the leading Customer Relationship Management platform at critical touch points in the sales process, helping Salesforce.com users accelerate deal closure, produce higher quality proposals and win more business.
SpringCM for Salesforce.com includes SpringCM Contract Accelerator, which enables organizations to automate contract generation from within Salesforce.com and then collaborate internally and with customers on negotiated edits, and SpringCM Proposal Accelerator, which allow distributed sales teams to re-use best practice proposals, coordinate presentations to prospects and customers and collaborate on RFPs, directly from within any Salesforce.com account or opportunity record. In addition, SpringCM allows for tailored delivery options including fax and mail-on-demand.
"As a global organization, closing contracts efficiently and on time is a major concern for us, and solutions like the SpringCM Contract Accelerator for Salesforce.com are important tools for improving our contract management process,² said Joe Graves, Chief Information Officer at Stratus Technologies, a Salesforce.com customer. "By automating the contract generation, negotiation and review cycle directly from within Salesforce.com, the SpringCM solution gives sales executives a new level of visibility and control over the process. We especially like how the solution operates both within Salesforce.com, where it is accessed by sales executives, but also from its own Web interface - extending the contract automation process to corporate legal, finance and compliance executives who may not be Salesforce.com users. Unlike other solutions that we evaluated, the SpringCM solution focuses on getting from a draft to final approved contract - and that is the most challenging part of the process for companies like ours."
A standard SpringCM subscription includes scalable, secure document management, scanning and optical character recognition to manage faxes, scanned documents, full text search, business process and a full suite of tools to collaboratively create, edit, update and publish documents anywhere in the world. Spring CM delivers enterprise-class document management on-demand for a low fixed monthly fee.
"AppExchange is quickly emerging as the leading on-demand ecosystem, making useful applications easily available to Salesfroce.com customers," said Christine Mason, founder of SpringCM. "The Spring CM Contract Accelerator and Proposal Accelerator are the first content management applications to deliver tailored solutions for high value sales processes within the leading CRM on demand platform. With these solutions, Salesforce.com users can automate and manage proposals and contracts from within the familiar interface of Salesforce.com, while offering full access to those groups that support contract and proposal management, but are not Salesforce.com users."
