VP, Sales I need better visibility into our pipeline performance so I can focus on deals that need my involvement; yet I can t afford to lose touch with other people and activity in process. GM, Marketing I need to make sure we introduce new products and services through campaigns that enable our field and channel partners to work together in lock step. Director, Customer Service I need to resolve customer issues faster than ever by making sure my people can instantly find customer information and work together regardless of location.
