SalesOutlook,
Inc. Announces CRM for Outlook Web Access
March 10, 2003 - Roswell, Georgia, USA
-- For Immediate Release
Today, SalesOutlook, Inc. announced the
integration of SalesOutlook, its pioneering Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) and Sales Force Automation (SFA) solution
for Microsoft Outlook, Office and Exchange Server, with
Microsoft's popular Outlook Web Access.
SalesOutlook Web Access is a customizable
CRM extension for Outlook Web Access, and it enables corporate
staff, managers and executives to use their Outlook Web
Access login as the portal to a simple, powerful and user-friendly
CRM solution from any PC with an Internet connection and
a web browser.
Features and Benefits
SalesOutlook extends Microsoft Outlook and Office by adding
a set of easy-to-use CRM / SFA tools that help the user
manage customer-related information and interactions within
the Outlook and Office interface. SalesOutlook Web Access
extends Outlook Web Access in the same manner. SalesOutlook
Web Access extends the user's Outlook Web Access session
to provide CRM users with powerful, easy to use tools that
enable them to identify, cultivate and expand profitable
business relationships.
Besides being affordable, SalesOutlook
Web Access enables organizations to implement a thin client
web application that has a "zero footprint" on the client
side. This not only simplifies and speeds deployment, it
also offers the benefits of centralizing administration
and support activities to the organization's servers. This
lowers the organization's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
associated with implementing their CRM business strategies.
With SalesOutlook Web Access, CRM users
are able to manage information relating to the organization's
Accounts, Account Contacts, Opportunities, Customer Service
Requests, Notes, Documents, Spreadsheets and other important
"Profile" and "Historical" information. SalesOutlook Web
Access offers users configurable "quadrants" in their web
browser that enables them to configure each quadrant to
contain the information most important to them. Users are
also able to use the drill-down feature to quickly access
and display related information in a new browser window.
SalesOutlook Web Access, included with
SalesOutlook Premium Edition, also enables organizations
to further extend and customize the SalesOutlook and Outlook
Web Access functionality to meet their precise needs. Developed
with industry-standard web technologies like VBScript, HTML
and JavaScript, WebDAV and XML, SalesOutlook Web Access
is an open and extensible web-based CRM solution that scales
to meet the needs of hosting providers and large, global
organizations. Its attractive pricing puts it well within
the means of small and mid-enterprise organizations as well.
SalesOutlook Web Access Is Unique
In 1997 SalesOutlook, Inc. pioneered the Outlook CRM movement
when it released SalesOutlook v1.0. Today, SalesOutlook,
Inc. is still leading the Outlook-integrated CRM trend with
its CRM extension to Outlook Web Access, with its Active
Security extension to Exchange that enables organizations
to enforce item-level security policies on Public Folder
information, and with its Pocket SalesOutlook CRM application
for the various Windows CE / Pocket PC devices. SalesOutlook
is the only Outlook CRM solution that enables users to use
the Windows-powered device of their choice to manage CRM
data.
"At this time not even Microsoft offers
a seamless CRM solution that offers users the ability to
add, update, and delete information using any device from
any location at any time. No other software offers you the
ability to manage your demand chain related information
on your Pocket PC, within Outlook itself, or within Outlook
Web Access using your web browser," states Craig Woirhaye,
Vice President of Business Development for SalesOutlook,
Inc.
Nicholas Latsos, SalesOutlook, Inc.'s
Vice President of Sales adds, "It is even more surprising
is that no other commercially available extensions to Outlook,
Office and Exchange give customers the ability to customize
and extend the 'out of the box' version of the product.
SalesOutlook and SalesOutlook Web Access are both customizable
and extensible since everyone's CRM needs are different.
This is a key reason why people pick SalesOutlook for their
CRM platform."
SalesOutlook Web Access Availability
SalesOutlook Web Access is expected to be released mid 2003,
and many corporate buyers are anxious to get their hands
on a zero footprint, web based CRM application that integrates
with Outlook and Outlook Web Access. These savvy corporate
IT buyers are eager too reap the ROI that is generated when
software moves off of the desktop and onto the web server
to provide anytime, anywhere access for users and centralized
administration and support for IT. Several organizations
are even asking to "get on the waiting list" before the
product enters its formal beta review process.
