SAN FRANCISCO — 18 November, 2013 — Sigma Systems, the pioneer in catalog-driven Idea-to-Install products, today introduced its new Sigma Configure Price Quote (CPQ) application for Salesforce at Dreamforce ’13 in San Francisco, California.
“The Sigma CPQ application for Salesforce is a key offering in our Idea-to-Install product portfolio, focused on supporting that critical, up front buying experience for our customers’ customers,” said Catherine Michel, Chief Strategy Officer, Sigma Systems. “Our dual objective with Sigma CPQ is to reduce the time to market for launching new offers across channels, whilst rapidly enabling the sale and support of those offers from within even the most complex network and system environments.”
Sigma CPQ integrates with Salesforce to offer critical selling capability for communications, media and high tech companies. Leveraging Sigma’s comprehensive Enterprise Product Management (EPM) catalog and Configure Price Quote (CPQ) solutions, companies that use the Salesforce platform are able to access the depths of the enterprise’s offerings in real-time and actively target the correct products to the right customers, enforcing comprehensive business and technical rules in the process. Users can execute an automated configure-price-quote process to establish accurate product configurations, pricing and quotes, all through the Salesforce interface.
Sigma’s CPQ application is suited for a range of enterprises, whether mass market consumer offerings that require a turnkey product or a large enterprise demanding complex business data services. Sigma CPQ for Salesforce navigates your entire portfolio to determine which options are available and valid and executes the constraints that are in place to produce a personalized, valid quote.
