HOUSTON, Feb. 10, 2014 – PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a big data software company, today announced it has been recognized as a winner of the 2014 CRM Watchlist Award. PROS was honored among 40 standout technology companies that earned rankings on the prominent list as top-flight CRM solutions providers based on customer focus, strategy, financial performance, marketing, product portfolio, partnerships and corporate culture.
PROS big data solutions for pricing and sales effectiveness, which now include PROS Cameleon CPQ (configure-price-quote), integrate with leading CRM platforms, including Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics and SAP CRM. PROS prescriptive analytics enable sales teams to outperform by identifying opportunities with the highest probability of closing, offers with the highest probability of selling and the prices that are most likely to win.
The award is presented annually by ZDNet columnist Paul Greenberg, a renowned Customer Relationship Management (CRM) authority and best-selling author. Greenberg, who has been called “the godfather of CRM” and “the Bob Dylan of CRM,” evaluated 162 companies for this year’s competition. Organizations were judged on financial performance, management team, mission and vision, technology, partner program, market impact, thought leadership and corporate culture, in addition to 20+ additional factors.
According to Greenberg, “The character of the award, an impact award, remains the same. The effort at winning was magnitudes harder.”
“The CRM Watchlist Award evaluates a broad range of categories that are core to every company’s operations, and we are honored to have won this important distinction alongside some of the most prominent organizations in the industry,” said President and CEO Andres Reiner. “Our success at PROS is driven by an extraordinary team of people who are committed to customer success and innovation. I am proud to accept this award on their behalf.”
In the Gartner Research, Inc. “MarketScope for Price Optimization and Management: 2013” issued in December, PROS received a “strong positive,” the research firm’s highest-possible ranking. Reflecting the voice of the market, PROS reference customers gave the company the highest grades overall in key buying criteria, including ease of use, ease of deployment, functionality, roadmap, vision and overall satisfaction.
