Small Business Technology Magazine Awards Landslide a Product of the Year Finalist for 2006.

PITTSBURGH -- Landslide Technologies, Inc., provider of Sales Workstyle Management solutions, today announced that Small Business Technology Magazine, the only print and digital publication in the U.S. focusing on the technology needs of small businesses, has selected Landslide as a Finalist in the 2006 Product of the Year Awards, its annual salute to the best technology products and services for small business. Honorees are profiled online and in print as part of Small Business Technology Magazine's Best of the Year Issue and 2007 Buyer's Guide, available now at http://www.sbtechnologymagazine.org.

The Product of the Year Awards program recognizes outstanding technology products that improve key functions in a small business, such as business operations, management, marketing and sales, productivity and financial management, in addition to critical technology areas such as security and infrastructure. 2006 honorees were selected from nearly 300 entries and comprise four categories: Top 10, Finalists, Products to Watch and Products that Get the Job Done.

"Every small business has a selling process that is unique to its organization, product, service and industry," said Razi Imam, CEO of Landslide Technologies. "Landslide provides the opportunity for small businesses to create and implement world-class sales processes that were previously only available to large enterprises. This award from Small Business Technology Magazine underscores our value as a unique, cost-effective solution that equips individual sales reps with the tools they need to improve sales effectiveness."

Landslide is a hosted, process-based sales application and live assistant service purpose-built for individual salespeople. Small businesses find Landslide's Software as a Service (SaaS) model to be an affordable, cost-effective solution that grows with their business while improving the effectiveness and success rate of its sales team. Landslide's Live VIP Assistants, which are included with the service, help save additional time by handling contact management and reporting tasks, allowing salespeople to stay focused on selling.

"Small Business Technology Magazine prides itself on helping entrepreneurs make technology decisions that drive real results in their business," said Patrick Cook, Product Editor and Labs Director, Small Business Technology Magazine. "Landslide's process-based approach offers a well thought-through application for individual salespeople and a valuable alternative to your typical data-entry heavy CRM or SFA solution. Its SaaS model and price point are just right for the small business, and having a Live Assistant on hand to offload administrative tasks is an added benefit."

Presented by Small Business Technology Magazine, the 2006 Product of the Year Awards honor the best technology products and services for small business. A panel of judges, consisting of editors, technology writers, trainers and consultants, analysts and small businesses, evaluates products based on criteria such as: overall fit; functionality and ease of use; quality and breadth of support; innovation and potential impact on the bottom line of a small business. Judges also consider factors for successful technology adoption, such as pricing, learning curve, ease of setup and installation, breadth of user materials and support. The program is open to manufacturers and developers of technology hardware, packaged software and hosted services available for purchase by small businesses in the United States.
