Three pillars for Sales:

Key Need: Global Pipeline Management and Forecasting

Page 12: I F H001 Mandar  Parikh91707

Our global challenge: lack of “one source of the truth”

SAP & Spreadsheet

Homegrown Homegrown

Homegrown

Page 13: I F H001 Mandar  Parikh91707

Our 4 Key Challenges…

1. Poor visibility • Solutions was not tailored for business needs

• Multiple, disparate systems across global regions prevented upper management from getting an overview of the entire sales organization

2. Limited, inaccurate forecasting• Spreadsheet-based forecasting

3. Poor adoption• Adoption of legacy systems and other tools were low and hence

data integrity questionable

4. Poor sales visibility and inadequate forecasting resulted in reduced revenue and missed growth opportunities

Page 14: I F H001 Mandar  Parikh91707

…And our 4 ways to solve it with Salesforce

Stand alone standard solution implementation

Strong Steering Committee

SPOC / Project team / End user involvement

Results, Cont.

Salesforce centralizes sales data across global locations to

provide a consolidated view of the business

Weekly calls with the COO and SVPs are run off of easy-to-

use and comprehensive Salesforce reports and dashboards

Multilingual capabilities make for a unified global

implementation that folds all worldwide sales data under one

umbrella

Ease-of-use drives user adoption which in turn drives data

integrity and consistency and visibility into the sales pipeline

Page 22: I F H001 Mandar  Parikh91707

We identified 8 critical components to success

Executive sponsorship and weekly task force

Phased approach – Utilize own software

Involve end user in design & testing

Laser focus on process changes

In-person SPOC project team

Keep implementation lean

Use word “No” often, to avoid scope creep

Continuously reward and recognize your team

Moment of Truth…User feedback

1. Ease of use, very intuitive. 2. Account focus vs. the location – somewhat forces collaboration. 3. Ultimate integration to SAP and Outlook

---------This is the best overall sales tool i've seen at CA in the 6 years i've been here.

---------Better than Excel spreadsheets. Better than data entry in multiple places. Just better. I believe both the ADs / AMs and their managers are going to be very happy. Thank you!

---------It was a pleasure to work with Celia and her team. The solution is great and I look forward to using it!
