Leading Marketing Automation Solution Helps Companies Increase Sales, Gain Competitive Edge

Manticore Technology(TM), a leading provider of easy-to-use, powerful, marketing automation solutions, today announced that THINKstrategies named the company the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The BoSS Awards program is an initiative by THINKstrategies, the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, to bring attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies, which are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations, and greater profitability.

Manticore Technology is an on-demand, marketing automation solution provider that enables marketers to effortlessly move sales prospects through the pipeline through demand generation, lead management, lead scoring, and lead nurturing, while feeding their sales team valuable insight about the interests of each lead. As a result, Manticore Technology customers increase revenues, lower costs, and gain a competitive edge.

"In today's increasingly competitive environment, it is becoming even more important to gain a greater ROI from your marketing campaigns," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. "Manticore Technology's SaaS solution helps companies generate greater sales from more effective marketing programs."

Intellitactics, a supplier of security incident and event management (SIEM) products is an example of one of Manticore's customers. Intellitactics wanted to improve its marketing process by implementing a new marketing automation platform that would be affordable and easy-to-use. More importantly, they wanted a solution that would deliver a clear, solid return on investment (ROI) in terms of improved lead conversions and increased sales.

In January 2008, Intellitactics integrated Manticore Technology's SaaS solution with their existing salesforce.com application to create a comprehensive demand generation platform. Intellitactics achieved a breakeven ROI from the Manticore Technology in two months as a result of a 171% increase in qualified leads and a 30% decrease in the length of the sales cycle.

"Our customers are realizing real, measurable benefits from our marketing automation platform and we're thrilled to be recognized by THINKstrategies for our feature rich products," said Jeff Erramouspe, president, Manticore Technology. "With Manticore Technology, customers are able to align their sales and marketing efforts to drive revenue and decrease the sales cycle."
