Top 3 Competitive Differentiators:
|
| |
1. |
Built into Outlook: Prophet is built into Outlook so no flipping
between two applications all the time or manage multiple contact databases.
Prophet acts and feels like additional features and functionality to Outlook
instead of an entirely different application. |
|
| |
2. |
Built with .Net: Building Prophet on the .NET platform means
integration at the object level with Outlook as well as easy extension into
other parts of your business. Having been built with .Net also ensures that
users can easily share Prophet and Outlook information with other applications. |
|
| |
3. |
Built to leverage existing Outlook data: Prophet turns Outlook
data into the building blocks of an effective sales management solution. Every
email sent, meeting appointment made or task created, all can be viewed,
tracked and associated with an opportunity. This increases information
organization and ease of finding critical pieces of opportunity information. |
