Numara® Software Named As Finalist in 2009 Stevie® Awards For Sales and Customer Service
Third Annual Awards Will be Presented on February 9th in Las Vegas
Tampa, Fla. (January 28, 2009) –
Numara Software, Inc., a leader in service desk management solutions for IT professionals, today announced that the company was named a Finalist in the ‘Sales Process of the Year’ category in the third annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. The awards are presented by the Stevie® Awards, which organizes several of the world’s leading business awards shows including the prestigious American Business Awards. Over 500 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted to this year’s competition.
Already established as a global leader in the help desk and asset management market, in 2006 Numara Software acquired Unipress Software, adding the award winning FootPrints service desk management solution to their product line. With the addition of a new flagship product, the sales team at Numara Software recognized that implementing a more solution-focused selling approach would help its sales organization continue to grow and be more effective at engaging with customers.
With this approach, the Numara Software sales team is committed to learning about their prospects upfront, and tailoring presentations and demonstrations to meet the basic service desk needs of potential customers. This involves diving into each customer’s unique processes and procedures, assessing their legacy environment for integration issues, understanding their organizational environment and looking for non-IT business functions where Numara FootPrints may also be able to streamline operations. This unique approach allows prospects to fully understand the software’s features, such as the pay back timeframe, impact to end-users, organizational ramifications and how to further leverage the investment to support other parts of their business.
“We are honored that the Numara Software sales team has been selected as a finalist for this prestigious award,” said David Weiss, president and CEO of Numara Software. “During FY08, our sales team reached record breaking numbers and set a new company record for the largest implementations to happen in one quarter, while also securing the company’s largest contracts in history. This recognition is a testament of our sales team’s hard work, and pays homage to the great talent fueling our company.”
“Being named a Finalist in the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service is an important achievement,” said Michael Gallagher, president of the Stevie Awards. “It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of international recognition. We congratulate all of the Finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition.”
Members of the Awards’ Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie Award winners this week from among the Finalists. Finalists were chosen by business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging.
