View

SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--
The TAS Group, the world leader in sales performance automation, today announced
the general availability of the latest Dealmaker platform, Version 6.3, which
includes the powerful new MarketView capability, enabling sales leaders to see
both their total addressable market and assess the long-term health of all their
accounts in one view.

MarketView builds on the powerful Performance Coach forecasting and analysis
functions already in Dealmaker, and presents a consolidated picture of the
long-term health of a sales organization`s key accounts. This flexible component
of the Dealmaker for TAS Opportunity and Account Management Suite provides a
range of `one world` intelligent views for the sales leader:

* See all the account plans for teams across all products and services to
uncover where the gaps and weaknesses are, for better planning and to make early
corrections for maximal revenue.
* See all the regional or team account plans for each global account, aggregated
into one view, for spotting the opportunities for additional revenue growth and
profitability.
* Generate custom reports to compare key performance factors such as solution
and industry penetration, for broader revenue growth.
* Share reports automatically with teams and across global account regions, for
better internal alignment and revenue acceleration.

With its unique combination of sales methodology and process, the on-demand
Dealmaker Sales Performance Automation platform can operate in a standalone mode
or can be integrated with popular CRM systems from salesforce.com, Oracle and
Microsoft. Dealmaker augments these systems by providing a salesperson-centric
set of capabilities that help significantly boost sales performance, including
an average 89% improvement in quota achievement. Dealmaker also offers
sophisticated, objective measurement and reporting on that performance that
augments what CRM systems provide and dramatically improved sales forecast
accuracy.

"MarketView gives our customers excellent visibility across their business, and
is a great example of our work with customers like Xerox to enhance our
Dealmaker platform," said Donal Daly, chief executive officer of The TAS Group.
"Being able to see where the gaps are for certain products and solutions across
all accounts, and in all regions or larger or global accounts, will enable
companies to target valuable additional revenues, and give them a real sense of
what the future holds and what they need to do now to change it."

Dealmaker 6.3 is available immediately.
