 a study by Health Industry Insights, an IDC company.

For a typical life sciences company with 1,000 sales representatives, this finding can translate into $74 million of incremental annual revenues, the study shows.

For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation.  with an industry average of other Sales Force Effectiveness products, also identified other quantitative benefits of Mobile Intelligence for sales representatives, including time savings and reduced duplicate records. The study also found higher job satisfaction and a better quality of life among these sales reps.

The efficiencies gained from using Mobile Intelligence are a direct result of the software's unique user experience. To develop this solution, Dendrite dendrite: see nervous system; synapse.  closely monitored how pharmaceutical sales representatives pharmaceutical sales representative Detailer, Drug rep Drug industry A drug company employee who regularly visits physicians and office practices, providing information on the company's products–usually putting a negative 'spin' on competitors' products.

As a result, sales representatives spend less time interacting with their software, and more time interacting with prescribers.

"Because we are a leading company focused on the life sciences industry, we are in a unique position to craft a solution that's perfectly aligned to it," said Mark Theilken, president, U.S. Sales Solutions. "The life science industry has substantially different needs, and we believe our approach is much better than trying to retrofit ret·ro·fit
