NEW 'RemotePORTAL' TOOL FOR MOBILE SALES FORCES INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY.

Software that provides sales staff in off-site locations seamless access to critical home office data was introduced earlier this month by MarketScape Inc. The new product, remotePORTAL SELL, operates with or without an Internet connection.

"RemotePORTAL software responds to the critical need of the sales channel to have vital, actionable information in a timely way," says Bob Pinna, CEO of MarketScape, a Colorado Springs-based IT company. "Think of a sales person with an important prospect or client meeting in the next half-hour searching all over the company's Intranet trying to find the precise information needed to close the deal. And in the field, sales people often can't connect to the Web at all, making the information search even more difficult. RemotePORTAL, by eliminating the need for Internet access and providing a way to quickly sort through critical data, can help sales productivity soar."

RemotePORTAL lets the "Sales Intranet" of a company travel with the sale force. Included in the software are: Document Organizer, which provides mission critical corporate information, such as product, pricing and competitive information, through a familiar browser interface; Portable Web, a personalized version of the corporate Web; Presentation Assembler, to allow browsing and searching through corporate sales presentations, clip art and logos to quickly assemble a custom presentation; Literature Distributor, which catalogs all corporate literature and allows fulfillment of client literature requests by fax, email or distribution center; Video Presenter, for in- field training; and communications and tracking/reporting components.
