Salesnet Celebrates 25th Anniversary Product Edition; On-Demand CRM Leader Introduces Hundreds of New Features and Announces Extension of CRM Footprint.

BOSTON -- Salesnet, the leading provider of on-demand CRM software focused on driving sales effectiveness, today launched the 25th Anniversary Edition of its enterprise on-demand CRM product which provides 250 new features and showcases the broadening of Salesnet's CRM footprint into Marketing Automation -- including Lead Management, Campaign Management, HTML emails, and more.

To prepare current and potential customers for this monumental release, Salesnet launched an official preview website, Salesnet25.com, in September 2005. Each week since the launch of Salesnet25.com, the company has revealed several new features for customers to review. By demonstrating the nuances of each new feature in an interactive way, customer and prospects have been able to digest the features without being overwhelmed with a slew of new capabilities all at once.

"As a current customer, I appreciated the thought put into this release - not only the incredible new features, but the way in which they were delivered," said Andrew Jenkins, managing director of Classwatch(R). "We have been monitoring the Salesnet25.com site and because of the detail put into the explanation of each feature, we are prepared to go live with the new edition, upon its release, and will be able to immediately take advantage of the new features."

The Salesnet 25th Anniversary edition includes significant enhancements and new functionality, such as:

--Lead Management - The new leads module greatly improves sales effectiveness as only qualified leads are "converted" to sales. A Lead Dashboard will provide in-depth analysis of lead activities and includes access to several pre-built lead reports. The Dashboard section includes the ability to generate customized dashboard elements based on lead fields, allowing users to track the progress of leads throughout the qualification process.

--Campaign Management - The Campaigns module allows users to track and measure the effectiveness of specific marketing campaigns and gives users the ability to store high level Campaign information in one central location, track Campaigns against pre-defined goals, and analyze Campaigns in real-time. This gives marketers the ability to modify Campaign elements in real-time to continuously improve performance.

--HTML email - The Communicate Tool gives designated individuals the ability to create HTML emails using a WYSIWYG email editor and requires no HTML programming skills. Additionally, users are able to send an unlimited number of emails via the Communicate Tool using their company's own mail server.

--User interface customization and administration - Several new features enable a company to customize the application, such as the ability to re-term the Campaign, Lead, Account, Contact and Deal tabs and to re-term most Built-In-Fields, allowing the application to be customized to match any company's corporate vernacular and style.

"Salesnet's 25th Anniversary Edition ensures that the upstream processes that feed into the SFA module are optimized and that the products of those upstream processes, i.e. leads, are the best that they can be," said Denis Pombriant, principle of Beagle Research. "The benefit of this approach is better, and more qualified, leads resulting in faster sales processes, less time and resource waste on poorly qualified deals that will never close, and better margins and profits."

"This upgrade is not simply about the quantity of features, but about our ability to create the most useable and configurable application in the industry - and to deliver it in a manner that will allow our customers to easily take advantage of each new feature. We have been invigorated by the response we have received from our weekly feature previews and believe this release will surpass our customers' expectations," said Richard Perkett, chief technology officer and co-founder of Salesnet. "The Salesnet 25th Edition will provide customers with significant enhancements to our industry leading sales-focused application, but more importantly, it will offer them an extension of our product, beyond SFA, at no extra cost or effort on their behalf."

Today, Salesnet also announced the first of many customer wins gained in head-to-head competition with Salesforce.com (See also, 'Greenpages Selects Salesnet's 25th Anniversary Edition Over Salesforce.Com Winter '06'). This win, along with others to be announced in the coming weeks, underscores the growing customer frustration with Salesforce.com and demonstrates that Salesnet is quickly growing its reputation as the alternative to Salesforce.com.
