Honolulu, HI February 21, 2001- Inovaware
Corp., a leading provider of billing and customer
management infrastructure for Internet service businesses,
announced today that it has been awarded a new contract
from salesforce.com, a market leader in online customer
relationship management.
salesforce.com will upgrade to Inovaware's PRISM™
billing and customer lifecycle management software
to support its rapidly expanding international operations,
highly anticipated new services, a multiplying customer
base, and complex discounting.
"By deploying Inovaware's PRISM solution, salesforce.com
is able to focus on its goal of sustaining the incredible
global demand for its services while ensuring it has
the proper business infrastructure to support that
growth," said Marc Rapoza, Inovaware CEO. "We are
pleased that salesforce.com has expanded its relationship
with Inovaware to support the growing popularity of
its solutions."
"PRISM is a natural choice for hosted application
providers seeking to deploy global infrastructure
to service customers worldwide," said Barry Augus,
VP Controller at salesforce.com. "Its multi-currency
features, integration into global financial networks,
rich feature set, and flexible architecture will allow
salesforce.com to concentrate on our core competency
of delivering enterprise applications as online services."
PRISM has helped fuel the growth of multinational
Internet service providers such as j2 Global Communications
(formerly JFax) and NetTime, a NTT DoCoMo subsidiary,
and provider of wireless Internet services. In actual
multinational service provider environments, PRISM
has scaled to support companies with millions of active
subscribers. Service providers who can rapidly introduce
new services, adjust complex pricing models on the
fly, and automate customer lifecycle processes-using
Inovaware's business infrastructure-are able to optimize
revenue, while gaining an advantage in acquiring and
retaining customers in a competitive market environment.
"Implementing a comprehensive billing and customer
lifecycle platform is essential for global Internet
businesses, such as salesforce.com," said Rapoza.
"PRISM will help increase profitability and streamline
operations in a worldwide business climate that is
becoming increasingly more complex, competitive, and
difficult to manage."
