Interested in implementing Sales Force Automation (SFA)?
Leading market research firm Gartner recently published a report on critical capabilities for SFA. Our partner, Creatio (formerly bpm'online), was recognized in 5 use cases in this report.
This Gartner report evaluates 19 Sales Force Automation vendors against 6 use cases. Application leaders supporting sales should use our use-case-specific rankings to identify a shortlist for further evaluation.
Report highlights include:
Artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive sales forecasting, relationship health scoring or opportunity health scoring is now offered by more than half of the sales force automation (SFA) vendors.
Ease of use, particularly for data entry and maintaining data quality, varies considerably. Some vendors have invested in conversational AI to improve data entry, but it is not a common function yet in the industry.
Forecasting capabilities vary widely across the vendors.
Creatio believes its recognition in 5 use cases is driven by its advanced tools and out-of-the-box best practice processes to drive efficient sales processes and accelerate the complete sales cycle, and the intelligent low-code platform, which allows users with no technical skills to swiftly design, execute and optimize sales processes.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!

"As a young consulting firm, requests for input from clients vary and it's sometimes impossible to provide expert solutions across a broad spectrum of requirements. That was before I discovered Flevy.com.
Through subscription to this invaluable site of a plethora of topics that are key and crucial to consulting, I
have been able to exceed expectations and deliver quality advice and solutions to my clients. The quality and expertise of the authors are exemplary and gives me great confidence to use as part of my service offerings.
I highly recommend this company for any consultant wanting to apply international best practice standards in their service offerings.

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact
that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.
I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.
Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.
Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world.

– Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

– Michael Evans, Managing Director at Newport LLC
"As an Independent Management Consultant, I find Flevy to add great value as a source of best practices, templates and information on new trends. Flevy has matured and the quality and quantity of the library is excellent. Lastly the price charged is reasonable, creating a win-win value for
the customer, Flevy and the various authors. This is truly a service that benefits the consulting industry and associated clients. Thanks for providing this service.
