CDC Software Launches Pivotal CRM for iPad

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

CDC Software Corporation (CDCSY), an enterprise software provider of on-premise and cloud technologies, today announced the availability of the first release of Pivotal CRM for iPad, an application that enables users to access customer relationship management (CRM) information whenever and wherever they need it.

“Providing employees with access to critical information about clients, prospects, products and contacts no matter where they are, gives organizations a competitive edge,'' said Pierre Custeau, executive vice president of CRM Product Management, CDC Software. “Pivotal for iPad allows you to quickly implement processes that are unique to the business while leveraging the capabilities of the tablet for an innovative, customized user experience.''

By utilizing the power of the flexible Pivotal Toolkit, customers can quickly and easily mobilize their business applications and workflows or create their own iPad applications that meet the unique requirements of their business.

Pivotal CRM's new mobile application utilizes the entire screen of the iPad where users can enjoy the benefits of the intuitive features inherent in one of the world's most advanced mobile operating systems.

Pivotal CRM for iPad welcomes users with a highly-visual, personal dashboard that provides a snapshot view of the information that is most important to that particular user. Information displayed in the dashboard can include charts, such as line and bar graphs, web pages, and search result lists.

By configuring searches to look at any data within the Pivotal CRM deployment, users get instant online access to information relevant to their job. That means users can set-up important, completely custom searches such as open opportunities forecasted to close in a given period, newly acquired accounts with a specified net value, or key company or contacts in a specific area. New data and updates are reflected instantly in the enterprise CRM database when the user is online. When a wireless connection is not available, users can still access CRM data that was synchronized to their device, helping them stay informed wherever they are.

The new application also includes full integration with Skype, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google Maps.

Pivotal CRM for iPad is available now in the App Store. Terms, conditions and restrictions apply.

“Pivotal CRM for iPad stands out in the marketplace because of its agility,'' said Custeau. “The application is fully customizable to meet the needs of any mobile user from field sales to service representatives, using the powerful customization capabilities of the Pivotal CRM platform.''
