SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 17, 2008) - InsideView today announced the
availability of SalesView for Microsoft Dynamics CRM at Interop New York
2008. SalesView is one of the first true socialprise applications, which
through mash-ups is designed to collect and scan subscription-based sources
and the rich, unstructured information living on the social Web to deliver
the meaningful insights salespeople need to increase results. SalesView is
the first business search and intelligence solution integrated with
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and is available immediately for Microsoft
customers.
SalesView FREE is available to all Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers as a
native mash-up. The SalesView integration allows Microsoft Dynamics CRM
users to access the valuable sales intelligence generated by SalesView
within the Microsoft Dynamics CRM interface, significantly reducing time
needed for research and improving productivity. The SalesView application
is available for both on-premise and on-demand deployments of Microsoft
Dynamics CRM 4.0. More detailed information can be found at

"SalesView is a great addition to Microsoft Dynamics CRM," said Brad
Wilson, general manager for Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "SalesView provides an
entryway to the social Web and empowers sales organizations to gain
valuable insight from a wide range of information sources beyond data
contained in Dynamics CRM. As a partner, InsideView complements our mission
of enabling businesses to find, win, and grow profitable customer
relationships."
"The amount of information across the social Web that can benefit sales and
marketing professionals is growing. With SalesView, it is possible to
efficiently unearth relevant news and business relationships from across
the Web," said Rand Schulman, chief marketing officer of InsideView.
"Socialprise applications are engineered to generate insights for sales and
marketing professionals that will help them make more deals and close them
faster."
The integration of SalesView into Microsoft Dynamics CRM adds to the
growing ubiquity of InsideView's pioneering sales intelligence application.
InsideView's partnership with Microsoft is the fourth mash-up the company
has executed since launching SalesView earlier this year. Other partners
include SugarCRM, Salesforce.com, and most recently, Landslide
Technologies, Inc.
"The addition of SalesView to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is consistent with the
direction that sales and marketing professionals need to go to be
successful in today's market," said Brent Leary, social CRM strategist and
founder of Atlanta-based CRM Essentials. "There is just too much
information being added to the Web each day to stay on top of it all
manually, but through sales intelligence applications like SalesView,
professionals can efficiently get a steady stream of data that is relevant
for their business needs, ultimately improving productivity and
performance."
SalesView brings together social data with enterprise-grade business search
and intelligence capabilities to help sales teams automate prospecting,
