NTT America Selects BigMachines Lean Front-End® to Streamline Configuration, Quoting and Ordering Processes for Enterprise Hosting Services

Leader in Web-Hosting to enhance its salesforce.com CRM system by adding BigMachines LFE Configurator, Pricing, and Proposal (CPP) solution

BigMachines, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand configuration and quoting software, announced today that NTT America, a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporations, has selected the BigMachines Lean Front-End (LFE) platform. Specifically, NTT America's Enterprise Hosting Division will leverage the BigMachines LFE Configuration, Pricing & Proposal (CPP) solution to integrate the company's configuration, quote and contract processes with salesforce.com.

"We were looking for a configuration, quote and contract tool that has the flexibility of traditional on-premise software without the headaches," said Michael Jordan, Director of Sales Operations at NTT America's Enterprise Hosting Business Unit. "BigMachines delivers on both counts and easily integrates with salesforce.com. Everyone from sales to finance is looking forward to deploying BigMachines."

BigMachines CPP will be tightly integrated with NTT America's salesforce.com CRM solution. This feature enables NTT America to extend its current CRM functionality to automatically populate opportunity values from the configuration and quoting process. Sales reps will no longer have to re-enter data in both a CRM and a quoting tool. Godard Abel, CEO of BigMachines, stated, "We are delighted that NTT America has selected BigMachines. We look forward to a rapid implementation with our new version 7.0 product release. Our goal is to continue to make our product easy to implement and easy to maintain--to return a rapid ROI for our customers."
