Sage Software today announced the company’s leading business management software solutions, ACT!® and SalesLogix®, have been recognized with three industry awards in the US for technology leadership in the CRM marketplace.
ACT!, the industry’s best-selling contact management solution, has been awarded a “Willy Award” for Best SOHO CRM solution by SellMoreNow.com. (“Willy” is a reference to the character, Willy Loman, famed salesman in the Arthur Miller play, “Death of a Salesman.”) Sage Software’s mid-market CRM solution, SalesLogix, has also won a “Willy Award” for the Best Middle-Market CRM solution. Additionally, SalesLogix has been honored with a 2003 “Product of the Year” award from Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine.
The 2003 Willy Awards honor excellence in contact management, SFA and CRM solutions. These annual awards presented by SellMoreNow.com, an independent source of critical analysis for the CRM software segment, are based on software products that made it through SellMoreNow.com’s rigorous review process during the last 12 months. Both ACT! and SalesLogix came out on top in both the small and mid-level CRM market segments respectively, further solidifying Sage Software’s CRM leadership position.
“Implementing a CRM system is not an option these days, it is an essential requirement for business survival,” says Rich Bohn, executive editor of SellMoreNow.com. Bohn says, “With the hundreds of choices confronting professionals today, too many people are simply putting off making a decision. My objective is to provide insight on these products to help the customer make an informed business decision. Both ACT! and SalesLogix are proven contact management and CRM products that are taking businesses to the next level.”
Sage Software’s SalesLogix version 6.1 product has also been named among Customer Inter@ction Solutions’ top product picks of 2003 in the magazine’s annual “Product of the Year” award competition. This achievement honors companies that demonstrate technological advancements in their products and provide their users with improved user experience and a return on investment.
“SalesLogix is successful in the mid-market and this award recognizes our leadership and ability to meet the specific CRM needs of medium-sized organizations,” said Marc Van der Ven, Managing Director of Sage Software Middle East. “Sage continues to provide quality solutions based on customer needs in the CRM and business management segments.”
