Accept Corporation Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award
Accept360 Accelerates Product Development and Boosts Revenues by Aligning Innovation with Customer Needs
|
Wellesley, Mass. - October 18, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Accept Corporation has been named 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 is an ongoing program which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
Accept Corporation's SaaS-based Accept 360 Innovation Management solution empowers product teams to more quickly develop compelling products that generate greater revenues, because they're better aligned with the market and company strategy.
An example of the business benefits that Accept Corporation's solution delivers is Solution Labs, a leading provider of data center performance analysis and capacity planning solutions. The company's Fortune 500 customers require product development and internal management to respond quickly to their customer's changing requirements. Using Accept360, Solution Labs has been able to grow its revenues 300% over the past three years, while increasing the productivity of its product development team nearly 25%. The company has also received feedback from its customers that Solutions Labs now delivers more value in half the time of its competitors, who have substantially greater development resources than Solution Labs.
It is for these reasons that Accept Corporation has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found athttp://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1624.
"Solution Labs' story demonstrates the value of a product innovation management solution that aligns a company's ideas, strategy, customer feedback and product execution into a successful business model," said Christine Crandell, SVP of Marketing at Accept Corporation.
"We're excited to have THINKstrategies' BOSS Award validate how our solution helps companies determine which products to bring to market for the fastest time-to-profit." "Companies must continuously develop and deliver superior products in order to survive and thrive in today's increasingly competitive marketplace," 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. "Accept Software's SaaS solution clearly illustrates the measurable business benefits of improving the product lifecycle management process."
