VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Major medical device manufacturer deploys Pivotal to enhance mobile sales force productivity

Pivotal Corporation, a CDC Software (NASDAQ:CHINA) company, and a leading CRM solution provider for mid-sized enterprises, today announced that Gambro Renal Products, a global developer, manufacturer and supplier of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and acute dialysis equipment, has upgraded to Pivotal 5.1 to enhance sales force productivity.

Gambro Renal Products offers a wide range of products for hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and renal intensive care used by medical professionals in the treatment of renal disorders. Founded in 1964, the company has built a reputation for innovation and is often the first to the market with life-saving innovations. For example, Gambro was the first to introduce a computerized dialysis machine. With production facilities in 12 countries and sales in more than 90, and a growing set of complementary services, Gambro required a system to help sales users capture information on customer needs, preferences and product use in a consistent and collaborative way. Gambro initially deployed Pivotal Sales - Miller Heiman Edition, and then became an early adopter of Pivotal 5.1 to take advantage of the latest productivity and mobile advancements.

"Gambro Renal Products' continued success will be based on our ongoing product innovation and having the critical customer information which sales and marketing requires," said James Brabon, vice president, sales, Gambro Renal Products. "In the 21st century, every 'seller' of products and or services must use the latest tools and technologies to capture vital customer information. Pivotal 5.1 gives our sales force these tools to capture and access customer data regardless of whether they are in their office, a customer's office, or on the road."

With Pivotal 5.1, Gambro's mobile sales users can access complete functionality and up-to-date customer and prospect data, regardless of where they are located or how they are connected. The new bi-directional email integration to Microsoft Outlook gives Gambro users the ability to create, edit and manage emails within Pivotal and Outlook, and link emails (with attachments) to any business object - including contacts and opportunities with one-click export, ensuring that interactions and communications are seamlessly recorded. And for mobile users, email integration is available while connected or while fully disconnected, providing full support when they're traveling.

According to Divesh Sisodraker, president and CEO, Pivotal, "Pivotal 5.1 provides enhanced usability, mobility and accessibility, enabling Pivotal customers to achieve higher levels of productivity, broaden their market reach and continue to build sustainable differentiation. With Pivotal 5.1, Gambro is further positioning itself to meet the needs of its customers."
