HOUSTON, April 28, 2015 – PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a big data software company, today announced its participation and sponsorship of the Professional Pricing Society (PPS) 26th Annual Pricing Workshops and Conference. The PPS spring event, scheduled for May 5-8 in Dallas, will be held at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. The company will spotlight the breadth of its enterprise product portfolio at the event, including its recently announced PROS Cameleon CPQ (configure-price-quote) solutions for Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce.
PROS Strategic Consultants Tonya DeWeese and Todd Pate will lead a full-day workshop on Tuesday, May 5, titled “Mass Price Increases and Contract Renewals: Eliminate the Chaos.” The workshop will enable participants to reconcile the challenges of millions of price points across multiple channels, lines of business and corporate constituents – from executives, sales managers, corporate attorneys, finance and country managers, to sales representatives and contract specialists – to drive successful updates that deliver on corporate growth targets.
Also speaking at the conference is PROS Strategic Consultant Shannon Tatz, in a presentation titled “Superhero or Evil Villain: Overcoming the Plight of the Deal Desk Manager.” Her presentation is scheduled for Friday, May 8, at 3:30 p.m. Tatz will explore strategies to decrease the volume of discount requests, with an overview on analytics that helps deal desk managers drive smarter, better decisions, making them heroes to both their sales and finance teams.
