The firm’s Sales Enablement Product provides the sales team with the proper content and on-demand training at the right time which help the sales reps to increase their sales productivity and improve their message to market as well as align content to each stage in the buying cycle. The ability to access the proper content and learning module empowers the sales reps to find greater corroboration and relevant convergence without bothering about the content archived in paper documents.

In an instance, Xirrus, a provider of wireless solutions, approached CallidusCloud to simplify their quoting process. The quoting process was long and tedious as their spreadsheet approach required the sales team to undertake a manual translation of the product list produced by engineers, which was time consuming. Also, due to the complex quoting process, reps would often forget to incorporate important components, add support, and even had to retract on discounts. CallidusCloud CPQ simplified the quoting process and the pricing and product information that spanned across multiple systems. The data was fed into CPQ and comprehensively integrated into Salesforce CRM. CPQ provided the client with the proper information on discounts and other important components required to add value to the organization.

According to Strech, cloud technology is one of the key drivers of big data and he believes that everything should be delivered via cloud. Moving ahead, the firm plans to enhance their cost-effective cloud solutions and help their clients grow in the market.
