Orsus Solutions Introduces Mobile Sales Application
Flexible Solution Increases Productivity and Collaboration of Field Sales Organizations
Mountain View, CA - Orsus Solutions, a provider of the leading mobile application framework, today announced availability of Orsus Mobile Sales, a suite of pre-packaged, integrated software modules designed to automate key sales functions and provide immediate access to valuable enterprise data assets from the field. Using Orsus Mobile Sales, mobile sales organizations can connect to key processes and data from commonly-deployed enterprise business applications, such as Siebel, Clarify, SAP, and others.
Orsus Mobile Sales can be easily deployed on a variety of industry-leading mobile devices, including BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds™ developed by Research In Motion (RIM), Microsoft's Pocket PCs, as well as Smartphones from other leading manufacturers. Designed for dramatically improving field sales productivity, Orsus Mobile Sales includes key features, such as account and activity management, contact management, opportunity management, sales order management, alerts management, document routing and directions finder.
A solid example of the benefits that can be reaped through the Orsus Mobile Sales solution is RAE Systems, a leading global developer and manufacturer of detection monitors and networks for homeland security and industrial applications. Prior to implementing the Orsus Mobile Sales solution, RAE's regional sales managers had to manually log into the company's Siebel sales automation application to check for leads and make sure RAE distributors were providing appropriate follow up.
"Using the Orsus Mobile Sales solution allows our Regional Sales Managers to more effectively respond to hot opportunities," said Lien Chen, director, IT & inside sales. "Now, when a lead generation campaign generates an opportunity classified as "hot", the opportunity is automatically dispatched to the appropriate Regional Sales Manager - allowing the manager to take immediate action on the opportunity."
RAE Systems Mobile Sales application, which operates on BlackBerry handhelds, was developed and integrated with the Siebel Sales Application in conjunction with Orsus' system integration partner, Transworld Information Systems Inc. The sale is also a strong representation of the traction Orsus has achieved as a recent addition to RIM's ISV Alliance program.
"The Orsus Mobile Sales application suite offers companies a cost-effective wireless solution that increases productivity for sales professionals by providing access to information required to close more business deals via BlackBerry handhelds," said Mark Guibert, vice president, corporate marketing at RIM.
"In shaping the functionality of this application suite, we brought to bear our extensive experience in mobile deployments on behalf of our FORTUNE 1000 customers," said Ben Reich, chief operations officer for Orsus Solutions. "The resulting product is a unique combination of pre-packaged business processes with a powerful mobile framework that enables extensive customization and creation of new functionality for a more productive mobile sales force."
Recent research shows that the number of remote workers is increasing, and field sales professionals comprise the largest percentage of that remote-worker population. As competition in all industries increases, businesses worldwide are acutely aware that they must empower employees, including field sales workers with tools such as flexible mobile applications available on handheld devices, to dramatically enhance their business results.
While the complexity of integrating mobile solutions with specific back-end systems slows time to deployment for most mobile solutions, Orsus created Orsus Mobile Sales to be platform independent. This makes Orsus Mobile Sales rapidly deployable in existing enterprise environments without requiring lengthy upgrade cycles or costly implementations of traditional enterprise application integration (EAI) frameworks.
