Press Release Body = Apex, NC - December 5, 2006 - Callisto Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of QuoteAdvantage 2007 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. QuoteAdvantage 2007 now includes the QuoteAdvantage Editor, a full authoring environment for creating your product catalog and associated configuration rules.
The QuoteAdvantage Editor is a new component of the QuoteAdvantage 2007 product suite. This new application provides product managers with a simple to use graphical tool for connecting QuoteAdvantage to Microsoft CRM's Product Catalog. Product managers can easily set up their product catalog hierarchies, define child product categories, and assign child products to parent products, all through the point and click interface of the Editor. Finally, product configuration rules may be specified for relevant products using the Editor's user interface.
QuoteAdvantage 2007 enhances the Microsoft CRM sales quoting process and allows users to build complex price quotes quickly and accurately. QuoteAdvantage runs seamlessly within the Microsoft CRM user interface without launching a separate application or displaying pop-up windows. QuoteAdvantage extends Microsoft CRM with familiar product configuration screens that are similar to the ones used by shoppers all over the web. The software is designed to help sales professionals build complex price quotes quickly and accurately with Microsoft CRM. QuoteAdvantage helps prevent mistakes that are caused by incorrect pricing, invalid selections, or incomplete configurations. QuoteAdvantage also helps a sales person recognize opportunities for upselling additional products and services to a customer.
QuoteAdvantage improves on the standard Microsoft CRM product selection process by grouping products into categories for easy single-click selection. This alleviates the need to remember complex part numbers and avoids the need to hunt for products with a cumbersome search interface. With QuoteAdvantage, a Microsoft CRM user can build quotes in seconds by simply clicking the appropriate products for their customer.
Using the QuoteAdvantage XML-based rule engine, managers are able to specify the requirements for building valid sales quotes. While building quotes, the user is notified when a quote contains products that are not compatible with one another. The QuoteAdvantage configurator also automatically identifies missing products that must be sold with other products as a bundle.
QuoteAdvantage makes it possible for sales professionals to use Microsoft CRM to deliver accurate pricing for complex product lines with minimal effort.
