Redmond, Wash.-based Avidian Technologies is known for its cloud-based and on-premise software solutions for users of Outlook and Exchange. The company boasts of a Microsoft (News – Alert) Outlook-based customer relationship management (CRM) software product line. Avidian has just announced an enhancement in its product line with the addition Prophet Mobile for BlackBerry (News – Alert).
Avidian Technologies has announced that Prophet Mobile for BlackBerry is here. Prophet Mobile for BlackBerry is an add-on to the stand-alone and server editions of Prophet. With Prophet Mobile for BlackBerry, the users do not have to log onto their PCs to analyze their business data. Prophet mobile allows users manage and share sales opportunity data using both a BlackBerry handheld device and a PC. Since, BlackBerry and PC versions of the product sync together, users can easily transfer data from one to another. Prophet for BlackBerry mirrors all the current functionality of Prophet for Palm and Prophet for Windows Mobile applications. This seems very nice to use if you ask me.
“With an increasingly mobile workforce, the need to manage customer sales information on-the-go is no longer a nice-to-have feature, it’s a must have. Prophet Mobile for BlackBerry is the industry standard Outlook-based CRM for BlackBerry devices,” explained Tim Nguyen, co-founder and chief information officer of Avidian Technologies, in a press release.
Developed by Avidian on the .NET (News – Alert) 2.0 platform, Prophet is available in both on-premise and cloud-based versions. This contact management and CRM software is built inside Microsoft Outlook. Prophet leverages Outlook’s existing data and functionality and transforms it into a full-featured sales and contact management system. According to its maker, Prophet requires far less training, virtually no integration/maintenance hassles and is very cost effective when compared to other competing solutions. Prophet is ideal for small- to medium-sized businesses, which can leverage the product to be more organized with their customer data, give better visibility to sales activities and achieve their company sales goals.
