ShareMethods Covered in Inc. Magazine, Computerworld (again), and salesforce.com Successforce Blog
The last thirty days have been exciting on the media coverage front. To start off, ShareMethods had its second cover story in Computerworld in less than 30 days. The first Computerworld cover story article was published during the Office 2.0 conference, detailing the announcement of Simple Ajax Mashup and the set of Office 2.0 service providers who endorsed the effort. The second Computerworld article focused on stories of success for ShareMethods’ customers.
The Computerworld article on ShareMethods’ customer success was titled “Tired of Failed Intranets, Users Try ShareNow App“. This article talked about the challenges faced by our customers when using corporate Intranets to share information with their field sales teams and outside business partners. Access was slow, adoption was limited, and information was out of date. In short periods of time, both customers were able to deploy ShareNow to large numbers of users with significant results - all of a sudden everyone across a customer team on a national and global basis could access the content that they needed on-demand. The customers described ShareNow as easy to use and quick to deploy. ShareMethods customers NMS Communications and Evolution Benefits described their case studies for the “before/after” scenario working with ShareNow. Lots of companies have challenges with their Intranets with regards to user adoption and access. ShareNow makes it easy and fast to set up a powerful on-demand sales and marketing library and it was great to have our customers tell this story.
Salesforce.com’s Customer Success Guru - Wendy Close, formerly the lead analyst at Gartner Group for CRM, posted a new blog entry - “Cool Tools Heat Up the AppExchange“. Her blog post highlighted the AppExchange services that she perceives as category leaders, noting on-demand applications that are Innovative, High Impact, Intriguing, or a mixture of all traits.
She selected ShareMethods as the only on-demand application in the Document Management Category in the AppExchange even though there are dozens of applications for users to choose from…this was an exciting endorsement and we are honored to be highlighted by salesforce.com in this way. Hopefully the stories of success by our customers such as NMS Communications and Evolution Benefits such as the piece in Computerworld will validate this recognition from the on-demand CRM leader.
To top it off, Inc. Magazine did an article highlighting the top software tools to help boost sales revenues and pump up profits. They talked about the next generation of companies pioneering the on-demand application space with a focus on sales productivity and effectiveness, following on the leadership of players such as salesforce.com and NetSuite. Inc. selected only 24 applications from among hundreds to choose from. Once again, ShareMethods was highlighted as a category leader. The top tools selected are also listed on the Inc.com web site - see http://www.inc.com/articles/2006/12/sales.html
